Dr. Joyce Pastore answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Joint pain: Many possible causes, including exposure to a virus, Lyme disease, migratory arthritis. Fever and joint swelling along with the pain can be a sign of an underlying condition. If you are not allergic, try Ibuprofen 400-800 mg 3 times daily with food. Get an evaluation.
