Hi,
From your symptoms it appears to be a case viral fever or specifically dengue or chikungunya. It is common to have joint pain in the last two, along with high grade fever. You can take high dose (600) mg paracetamol thrice daily, that would be sufficient in case your fever peaks up or doesn't break, you need to get blood investigations done.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
