I have been suffering from Chikungunya for the past 2 weeks. During this period, I experienced upper thigh and knee joint pain for 2 days, which is now under control with medication. My blood report shows increased WBC, and my doctor mentioned a possible viral and bacterial infection. I have also been having loose motions (liquid stools) for the past 3 days and a fever above 102F for several days. My medical history includes urinary tract infections, and my kidneys are shrunk.

Likely post viral with bacterial component. Continue hydration, monitor kidney function, and follow up on loose stools.

Question

Hello Sir, I have attached two copies of my report for the lymph node behind my ear. I have been taking different antibiotics for the past three weeks. I am having a fever once a day around 100 degrees and headaches. The doctor has said that if it is not cured, it may need to be removed surgically as it is a bacterial infection. Please suggest the best treatment in homeopathy or should I consider surgery?
