If it was chikungunya, then the pain will be there upto 1-1.5 months. For pain- in hot water put a pinch of cinnamon powder and dip a thick towel in it and then place the towel on the painful joints. Do t for 20 mins, twice a day. She should have a significant relief in pain. Please see to it that if she is diabetic then her sensation should be intact. As for swelling, ask her to keep her legs elevated from the ground and her arms must not hang down. If it does not subside, then please consult your doctor.
