Hello! Joint pain after Chikungunya is very common and may continue for weeks or months even after the fever improves. Rest, good hydration, gentle joint movements, and warm or cold compresses may help reduce stiffness and pain. Since you have already been taking medicines like Indomethacin and antibiotics for several days, avoid increasing the dose or adding new painkillers without medical advice. If the pain remains severe or affects daily activities, consult your doctor for proper evaluation, safer pain management, and possible physiotherapy support.
