Dear Sir, I have chikungunya since 2 days. My CBC report shows MCHC 34, Neutrophils 89, Lymphocytes 6, PDW 16, WBC 6499, and Platelet count 260000. My main symptoms are burning on the tongue and throat due to difficulty in eating. What treatment should I take and what is the reason for burning on the tongue and throat? Is it due to the virus or medication? I also have joint pain and sometimes fever.

Burning in the tongue and throat during chikungunya can occur due to viral infection or dehydration. Some medications used for fever and pain may also cause acidity, leading to throat discomfort. Continue hydration with warm water and soft foods, and avoid spicy foods. Joint pain is common in chikungunya and may persist for weeks. You can book an LFT and Kidney Function Test to monitor organ health during recovery. If burning worsens or you develop severe weakness, consult your doctor.

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test

I am suffering from a dry cough, and my blood report shows SGPT 60.5. Is there any connection between this and bronchovascular lung disease?

I am experiencing nausea and occasional loose motions. My liver function test report shows SGPT at 23 U/L, SGOT at 29 U/L, total bilirubin at 1.4 mg/dL, direct bilirubin at 0.9 mg/dL, and indirect bilirubin at 0.4 mg/dL. Do these results indicate jaundice?
