Hello,

As per my clinical experience, it is not necessary that every throat infection with joint pain will turn up as typhoid fever. Guidelines till you meet your doctor:
- Drink plenty of liquids including boiled water, lemon juice, coconut water, butter milk
- Prefer easily digestible food stuffs
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil
- Use spray with diclofenac or linseed oil to be applied over painful joints 3 times a day
- Acetaminophen (500 mg) 4 times a day after meals if no history of sensitivity with preferably antacid or proton pump inhibitor

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
