Chikungunya

Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne virus — sudden fever and joint pain that can make a child refuse to walk.

It is miserable but usually not dangerous the way severe dengue can be. We treat pain properly and keep joints moving gently as the fever settles.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Book if a joint is red-hot, the child cannot bear weight, or fever lasts beyond the expected window.
