Studies have found benefit of starting methotrexate 10-25 mg once a week for 8 weeks in this condition....you need to monitor baseline LFT and Hemogram also......meet physician or infectious diseases expert on this
Hi..... The majority of patients will recover completely within one to two weeks but some may be left with chronic joint pains which may last several years. Chikungunya virus does not cause any mortality directly but in the presence of other comorbidities it may contribute to a fatal outcome..... Consult your Physician for further advice....
