How is chikungunya treated?

Treatment is symptomatic and supportive:

Take pain relievers (avoid aspirin to reduce bleeding risk) for joint and muscle pain.

Drink fluids to prevent dehydration and get adequate rest.

Seek medical care if symptoms worsen; in severe cases, hospitalization may be needed for hydration or pain management. Recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks, but physical therapy helps with persistent joint issues.
