Brief Answer:
Can be arthritis or infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A high grade fever with joint pains can be due to many causes. This can happen due to arthritis or an infection. Taking Dolo will only give a short term relief. You need to consult an orthopedician and get a few blood tests done to find the cause of fever so that specific treatment can be started.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
