Hello
Malaria , as you mentioned that was positive and you took treatment so at this moment this is negative because of treatment.
As far as concerned about pain in the various joints , this pain in joints may be due to these reasons , these includes.
1 Rheumatoid arthritis , diagnosis can be confirmed by blood examination for C B C, E S R, R . A . Factor .
2 Gouty arthritis may be the another reason of such pain , get in blood examination for uric acid level .
3 Chikungunea fever is another most common cause of pain in various joints . Diagnosis can be confirmed by verology test .
However there are so many reasons of joint pain after fever as , osteomylitis etc. In my opinion deal as mentioned .
Consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
