Hi,
I have read your question and here is my advice. These symptoms does not look to be related to Amlodpine. These more look like a viral infection however there are other possibilities like autoimmune diseases or bacterial infection.
Though you can use paracetamol for pain relief at the moment but do see your doctor for proper assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
