Shiny summers have arrived already. Besides the delight of seasonal fruits and the joy of sunshine, there is also a list of complications that can bother you.
One of the most intolerable complications of these hot days is mosquitoes. Besides the buzzing sound in the ear and the painful puffiness of the skin where they bite, these tiny miniatures can be more dreadful than they seem. They are even capable enough to make people hospitalized through problems such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, etc.
During these conditions or say viral infections, the patient experiences multiple problems such as muscle pain, headache, loss of taste, chills, nausea, vomiting, joint pain, swelling, rashes, red eyes, fever, and so on.
Although, with proper medications, and a healthy diet, the pain, and discomfort of these diseases can be prevented. But the painful journey does not end here, In fact, it is the point from where it actually begins. Ayurvedic treatment for chikungunya arthritis has proven to be the best way of treating the condition without any risk of recurrence.
What is Chikungunya arthritis?
It is a condition that a person is likely to experience after a few weeks, or sometimes even months and years after being diagnosed and even recovered from a viral fever or infection.
With medications, the fever may disappear but its consequences remain there for a longer period and eventually cause problems such as joint pain, stiffness, immobility, and swelling. In short, it starts to turn into arthritis.
However, not all the people who have been infected with viral infections, and fever, encounter chikungunya arthritis but yes the majority of the patients do, especially those who are older, diabetic, or have a poor immune system.
Symptoms
Although the symptoms of chikungunya arthritis can vary from one patient to another, depending upon the severity of the condition, the type of viral infection they were suffering from, and their own immunity system. However, below are some common signs of chikungunya arthritis:
- Joint pain, usually sharp and persisting
- Swelling, and redness of the joints
- Morning stiffness
- Nausea, indigestion, and vomiting
- A constant feverish feeling
- Fatigue and tiredness
Ayurvedic treatment for chikungunya arthritis has been proven to be the best for reducing the raging of this health problem, and easing the complications associated.
Causes
The main cause of chikungunya arthritis is CHIKV (Chikungunya virus). It is an alphavirus that is mainly transmitted to humans by the mosquito named Aedes. Unlike ordinarily, this mosquito bites in the daytime.
Initially, it results in acute illness, i.e.; chikungunya fever. Besides that, it also affects the sides of the membranes that cover the joints, which eventually results in joint pain and inflammation in the long run.
Besides this, there is a list of viruses that can contribute to post-viral arthritis. Some of these virus are Hepatitis, HIV, Flavivirus, Enterovirus, Rubella Virus, Zika Virus, Human parvovirus, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
High Risk of Chikungunya arthritis in summer
Starting from the summer, or pre-monsoon (April to June), to the actual monsoon (June to September), the risk of chikungunya is highest in India. During the season, the environment is all favorable for the mosquito to breed and grow.
The frequent rains after a humid day fill potholes, plastic bags, buckets, etc with water, where these mosquitoes can lay eggs. And within a few days, these eggs will pass through a circle, and turn into fully-grown Aedes mosquitoes.
Eggs → Larva → Pupa → Adult Emerges → Grown Adult Mosquito
Also, these grown mosquitos get an all-set environment where there is adequate humidity, retained water, moist soil, and the skin of the people who mostly wear half-sleeves or short pants.
