Haan, I've been through this. Dengue is a big one that causes fever with severe joint pain, they call it 'breakbone fever' for a reason. Chikungunya also does this. Get tested, don't just assume it's normal viral. Hydrate well and take rest, your body needs it.

Oh, I was just reading about this! Dengue and Chikungunya are the main ones that come to mind when someone mentions fever and joint pain. It sounds really uncomfortable. Is there any way to prevent these?

Look, if it's fever with joint pain, immediately think dengue or chikungunya. These are very common in metros after monsoon. Don't self-medicate, get a blood test done ASAP. Your GP will guide you best.
