Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The fever associated with joint pains and muscle soreness can happen in case of a mild viral infection. This is usually self limiting and gradually improves in 5-6 weeks. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
