Chikungunya Alert

Diseases have made a camp in the country. Even before the devastation of one disease is over another disease takes its head. On the one hand dengue is spreading in the country while on the other hand the Zika virus has started its action.
In this regard the World Health Organization has warned about the spread of dengue chikungunya and Zika virus after which our administration wanted to stand up but here everyone is playing the flute of China and all institutions are working as usual.
Although the World Health Organization has made it clear that there has been an outbreak of dengue and chikungunya in Pakistan in the month of October for which there is a need to take measures on a war footing because this epidemic spreading in the world has just reached the third world.
The experts seem quite worried. The World Health Organization has warned the member countries of the spread of dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus around the world that they should start taking measures in this regard with speed, otherwise there is a risk of widespread spread of the virus.
A report that came out regarding this fatal disease has stated that this year the cases of Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika virus have doubled compared to last year which is likely to increase further.
According to the WHO the number of dengue and mosquito-borne cases has reached 12.3 million by August this year, while the number of dengue and mosquito-borne viral diseases was 6.5 million last year.
According to WHO this year 4 billion people around the world may be affected by 3 mosquito-borne diseases, while a strategic plan has been launched to deal with dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus. Experts warn that Chikungunya is spread by mosquitoes, so measures are necessary to prevent them.
These disease-carrying mosquitoes themselves become infected when they bite a person already infected with the virus. After acquiring the virus, mosquitoes can spread it to other humans through their bites. Remember that chikungunya is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes that can cause a lot of pain.
This article provides an overview of chikungunya. According to experts, chikungunya is a viral infection that is primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. The virus that causes chikungunya is similar to the viruses that cause it. Dengue and Zika virus infections although not usually fatal can be severe with joint pain and other symptoms.
According to experts chikungunya symptoms usually start 4 to 8 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Its common symptoms may include high fever. There is currently no specific antiviral treatment for chikungunya. In this disease it is important to provide rest to the patient and remove dehydration. Also pain medications such as acetaminophen can help reduce fever and joint pain.
According to experts during this period avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen which can increase the risk of bleeding. They should not face any complication and the disease should not increase instead of improving.
In this regard the Pakistani authorities have to say that dengue and chikungunya epidemics have also broken out in Pakistan in the month of October, which requires that the health department and all relevant administrators across the country take emergency measures against this dangerous disease.
High alert should be given but the sad thing is that no steps are being taken in this regard due to which fear may spread among the citizens.
According to the National Institute of Health dengue and chikungunya cases are being reported dengue and other viral diseases have increased after monsoon. Now there is a need to issue a high alert at the national level and the district administration should work to prevent dengue and chikungunya. If carelessness is taken on the part of the concerned authorities dengue as well as chikungunya can spread further. It is hoped that the higher authorities will definitely pay attention to this aspect.
