are having a field day across the country. Chikun gunya, spread by the Aedes Egypti mosquito, is giving everyone a scare - people are dying in Kerala's mosquito capital, Cherthala in Alapuzha district. Chikun gunya is characterised by severe joint pain and fever, apparently chikun gunya is a Swahili word meaning that which is bent - referring to the stooped posture of those affected.
Dengue has also entered the fray. Viral fevers of varying intensity is claiming lives across the country.
Took Mir to the Dr. today morning . Took her to Emergency ward of SMF yesterday too but since tehre are only junior doctors there, we decided to take her to the main Dr today - since we didnt have an appointment, had to try walk-in and wait till 12ish. He said she will be fine - just viral and the cough. Gave a syrup to prevent wheezing.
Reached office late.
