I have taken many different medicines like in initial days steroid, pain killer, antibiotics, seline, pain killed injections but everything till date is just a temporary relief for maximum 24 to 30 hours.
I had taken some orthonil for 10 days had bad experience or side effects like loose motions, skin issues and rash tongue..
Still today I am on medication alternate days for pain relief.
I would like to know
- for how long this pain will be ther
- what is best medicine without side-effects
- is there any medicine available in d market for permanent solution for chikungunya
Any leads will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
