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.

View allBased on my report, could someone please suggest the best medicine to cure the imbalance in my liver? I am not an alcoholic and I always take a healthy diet. It could be the medicine I have been taking for the past month for my back pain that caused it? Kindly suggest.

I have fatty liver for the last 6 months and my skin has darkened. When I touch below the belly button, it gives me pain. I also have a problem emptying bowels. An abdominal USG gave results of fatty infiltration and kidney stones of very small size.
