Doctors reminded not to use aspirin in patients infected with Chikungunya fever and suggested to prefer acetaminophen.

In the summer and autumn seasons, mosquitoes not only disturb people's sleep, but they can also spread two diseases, dengue fever and chikungunya fever. Recently, there has been a high incidence of chikungunya fever. Director Lin Bingliang and Vice Director Zhang Xiaohong from the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University pointed out that if one accidentally contracts either of the "two fevers," with a body temperature exceeding 39C, active cooling is necessary, but aspirin should be avoided as this medication may induce bleeding in dengue fever and worsen joint damage in chikungunya fever. It is recommended to prioritize the use of acetaminophen. (Guangzhou Daily)
