Hi! Tramadol is a narcotic like analgesic (painkiller). The doctor probably prescribed it for your joint pain. However from your description you appear to have a respiratory infection ( a bacterial one ,considering you've been bringing out greenish brown mucus). I believe you should go in for a second opinion.
All the best!
