Hello Doc.. My mom lives in Bangalore, India. She had very high fever and was taken to the hospital. She was given injection for the fever. Fever has reduced but she has severe pain in her joints.. including swelling in her legs & fingers. Can you let me know what type of fever she could have and what she do to reduce swelling & pain

Hi
You should get Cbc,esr,crp titer and ra factor along uric acid to rule out joint pathology like infection, rehumatoid arthritis and gout. You should carry out x ray to rule out arthritic changes.
Keep the affected limb alleviated and apply ice swelling will reduce easily.
Consult orthopaedic surgeon if you dont get relief.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
