[|AI|]  Thanks for asking at Chat Doctor. I read your question and I understand your concern. Yes these symptoms can be chikungunya virus infection as it has three forms acute that resolve in7-21 days, subacute 3-5 days, chronic takes months to years and sometimes there is relapse of Hematological symptoms months or years later. However, you have also to do workup for other hematological diseases like SHE, RA etc. Through ANA, Anti CCP and ESR or CRP. As there is no treatment for chikungunya virus. Take NSAIDs like Advil, Topical steroids like beclomethasone propionate and anti-allergic like cetirizine. Keep your body warm but away from heat and cold. Take plenty of water. Hope it helps best.
