Dear Doctor, My father had fever last month and as post fever effects he reported too much of joint pains in fingers and legs. And today I noticed that one of his foot has swelling. I have no clue what to do. Should I meet a orthopedist or general physician? In his recent blood report all the platelets are in normal range. Any suggestion would help, Thanks.

Your father must have had Viral fever. It is important to rule out Dengu fever by proper blood investigations. These will give rise to body and joint pains and aches. Pain killers like Paracetamol 650 if required can be taken. You may consult a General Physician.
