Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I can understand your concern. Cause of joint pain in pneumonia may be due to viral arthritis. It will subside as per your infection. For pain you can take tab. Tylenol. Do physiotherapy. Apply ice, Diclofenac gel or ointment. Continue all other medications.
Take care!
