Good evening. It is very common to have joint pains(arthralgia) after an infection. It can be due to the viral infection itself or could be a sequale of it. You need not worry about it , it is mostly self limitting and should subside in few days time. If you observe for any signsof joint swelling or morning stiffness you must see your physician. Hope the information was useful
