Mumbai Reports Surge in Chikungunya Cases, Prevention Advice

Chikungunya cases are increasing in Mumbai, India.

This illness spreads through mosquito bites.

The illness causes fever and severe joint pain, with other symptoms like headaches, muscle pain, and rashes.

There's no specific medicine for chikungunya, so doctors focus on managing the symptoms.

It is important to drink plenty of fluids and rest.

Most people recover in a week, but some may experience joint pain for months.

The early rain this year created a favourable environment for vector-borne diseases.
