Brief Answer:
viral fever.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
It looks like viral fever. I would like to know the details about joint swellings like duration, severity, associated symptoms etc. We need to rule out rheumatic fever as there is joint swelling.
Till then you can give paracetamol for fever.
Blood test needs to be done (after consulting with your doctor.) Complete blood count, ESR, urine routine microscopy, ASO-titer, Ra factor---these tests need to be done.
Hope I helped you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
