Hi,
It is common to have joint pain and swelling after some viral infections and it remains for up to a year even after subsidence of original symptoms and infection. You need to keep your limbs elevated while sitting or lying down, do warm saline fomentation and eat more of slimy vegetables like lady finger and colocasia. You can also take glyco-protein supplements.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
