Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Chikunguniya is viral fever and all symptoms you have mentioned is common with it except only blurred vision. This may be because of the severe muscle spasm associated with the infection. I advise you should take diclofenac with Chlorzoxazone this will relieve the pain associated with muscle spasm. In some severe cases of chikunguniya fever steroid administration can help you to relieve the pain and muscle spasm. Please take good rest, and avoid exertion as this may aggravate further pain. Please avoid mosquitoes bites to your family members otherwise the infection may spread to them also. You can use repellent, mosquito net pesticides etc. to prevent the bites and infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
