My mother has been suffering from chikungunya for 2 weeks. Her age is 45 and has weight of 70 kg. She has swallowed legs, joint pains in her legs and hands. We have consult a doctor at safdurjung hospital. They have advised to give her a lot of fluid items and paracetamol tab. But I have recently read in newspaper about unani medicine for chikungunya which has been given at ram manohar lohiya hospital. I want to know that is unani medicine is effective and can it cure the disease? What should we do? And the treatment which we are following now, is it right or not?

Dear lybrate-user, namaskar, The treatment advised by Dr. S of safdarjung hosp. Is correct and scientific and evidence based. So stick to that regimen. The disease has it's natural history and takes it's own course to settle. So better have patience and faith on your doctor. Take care.
