Chikungunya is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. It leaves those affected with severe arthritic pain in their joints and the pain can often last for months or even years. There currently is no perfect or 'fast' treatment for chikungunya, but most doctors would treat with aspirin and NSAIDs (Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Also being studied as a treatment option is Chloriquine, commonly used as an anti-malaria drug.
