The infection creates a rash and painful blisters, but in severe cases, it can lead to catastrophic brain infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High fever, joint discomfort, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are all possible side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This condition has a modest chance of causing meningitis in rare occurrences. As a result, if you detect any symptoms, you should consult a doctor “In a statement, Kerala’s Health Minister Veena George stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
