Usually, the joint pains from chikungunya subside after a couple of weeks. Rarely, patients develop chikungunya arthritis which can be chronic but usually fades after a month or so. Complications from chikungunya can become serious in the elderly so if you are still having problems, you should see your doctor for a complete evaluation. Headache may be from dehydration or neck tension. Drink fluids
