Thanks for the reply.
Is there any specific test for Rheumatic fever? Although i have consulted a physician with reports and he said no, wanted to be extra sure. Occasionally feel pain in knee or finger joints for a moment
ASO titre is the only test along with clinical symptoms.
You can try a course of antibiotics to see if it helps under the care of your physician.

Thanks. Any specific reasons for infection , that will help me understand the cause?
The muscle pain can be part of a bacterial or a viral infection.
Sometimes fatigue and muscle pain are the only symptoms.
There is definitely no rheumatic fever, but there seems to be a persistent infection causing the symptoms. Hence, it is better you take a course of antibiotics for the same.
