Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform with your Health journey The symptoms which you have mentioned shows that after that fever episode, your body did not fully return to balance. The fever went away, but the inflammation and response continued at a low level. That is why the body pain has stayed for months. The raised is snowfields indicate the human system is still reacting, And the CRP shows ongoing mild inflammation Your older knee and lower back discomfort also indicate that your tissue and joints have been sensitive for years So now your system needs gentle but consistent support to settle this inflammation and improve circulation in the muscles and joints
It take some time to improve the progress will be gradual, but your body has the strength to recover because you are weight stable. Your appetite is okay and you do not have diabetes or high blood pressure so we will work in a common slow direction. Keep your food warm, freshly, cooked and light. Avoid cold drinks card at night. Every deep fried food bakery and Paradise items. Give dinner early and simple water throughout the day. The small habits more than we realise
Oil massage should be done regularly Every night before sleeping apply a warm joint oil or sesame oil to your knees lower back and arms and legs Massage gently for 10 minutes And then take a warm bath Do this daily Gentle stretching exercises for lower back hamstrings shoulder and a 20 minutes slow walk daily will help

HELLO,
You had a mild viral infection (fever + body ache) in March 2025. The fever went away, but the body aches never fully left. Now, after 6-7 months you continue to have diffuse muscle and joint pain (especially in hands and legs), sometimes mild, sometimes more- without any specific triggers
Your blood tests shows -Eosinophils= 16-19 % : higher than normal (suggest allergy, immune reactivity, or parasitic infection) -CRP 3.9= slightly raised (suggests low-grade inflammation still persisting)
You are otherwise healthy- no diabetes, no obesity , no major illness
WHAT THIS MEANS? After your viral infection, your immune system remained mildly overactive- continuing to produce low-level inflammation in muscles and joints.
This could be due to -post-viral immune fatigue -subclinical allergy (high eosinophils) -chronic muscular tension due to desk work - accumulation of metabolic waste (“ama”) in Ayurvedic terms
So your condition is a mixed picture -In modern terms= post viral chronic myalgia or mild fibromyalgia-type Pain -In Ayurveda= Aamavata / vata-kapha vyadhi- where metabolic toxins (ama) blocks energy flow and irritate joints and muscles
TREATMENT GOALS -remove Ama (toxins and inflammation) -balance vata and kapha (for pain and stiffness relief) -strengthen agni (digestive and metabolic fire) -reduce immune overactivity (calm the allergic/eosinophillic tendency) -rejuvenate - rebuild muscle and nerve strength - correct lifestyle factors- posture, diet, stress, sleep
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
** STAGE 1= AMA PACHAA (detoxify metabolism) DURATION= for first 4 weeks
1) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = improves liver and metabolic activity, helps remove ama and regulate digestion
2) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 250mg twice daily after meals = natural detoxifier, helps in post viral inflammation and skin/muscle purification
** STAGE 2= ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND PAIN RELIEF DURATION= for 2 months after phase 1
1) SIMHANADA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =classic formula for chronic joint/muscle pain; removes ama, pacifies vata
2) RASNADI KASHAYA= 25 ml + equal water twice daily before meals = reduces vata, pain, and inflammation at tissue level
** STAGE 3= STRENGTH AND IMMUNITY DURATION= for 3 months after stage 2
1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime = muscle and nerve tonic, reduces fatigue, calms mind
2) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp in morning =rejuvenative tonic, balances immunity and energy
3) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals = immunomodulator; normalize high eosinophils, supports liver
EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) OIL MASSAGE= with warm Bala taila whole body 3-4 times/week = improves circulation, reduces muscle pain, relaxes nerves, and balances vata
2) STEAM = hot towel compress after oil massage = opens pores, removes ama, releives stiffness
3) MILD PURGATION= castor oil 1 tsp + milk once after 4-6 weeks =dtoxiifes liver and intestines, clears inflammation
DIET -eat warm, fresh, light and easy to digest foods -include soups, moong dal khichdi, rice gruel, vegetable stews - use ghee moderately lubricates joints and calms vata - drink warm water with a pinch of dry ginger during the day - avoid cold drinks, ice creams, raw salads, and reheated food -reduce wheat, dairy (esp curd), sugar, refined flour, and red meat -use spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, black pepper for digestion and inflammation control -avoid late night eating, maintain 3-4 hour gap between dinner and sleep
HOME REMEDIES
1) HALDI + BLACK PEPPER + GHEE MILK -1/2 tsp turmeric + pinch black pepper + 1 tsp ghee in warm milk- nightly
2) DRY GINGER WATER -boil 1/2 tsp dry ginger powder in 2 glasses of water, reduce to 1 glass, sip warm through day
3) EUCALYPTUS OR NIRGUNDI OIL MASSAGE -for local muscle or joint pain
4) TRIPHALA AT NIGHT (1/2 tsp with warm water ) - mild detox and gut cleansing
5) GUDUCHI JUICE OR TABLET -15-20 ml daily morning for immune balance
YOGA AND PRANAYAM
FOR BACK PAIN AND KNEE PAIN -bhujangasana -makarasana - setu bandhasana - pawanmuktasana - vajrasana
FOR STIFFNESS AND FLEXIBILITY -tadasana -trikonasana - marjariasana
FOR RELAXATION -shavasana -viparita karani
Avoid sudden jerks and forceful postures
PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= 10-15 min/day-> balances vata and calms mind -Bhramari= reduce stress , improves oxygenation -Deep diaphragmatic breathing= enhances lymphatic drainage and energy
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
POSTURE= keep back straight, shoulders relaxed, screen at eye level. use lumbar support cushion
MOVEMENT= avoid long sitting, stand and stretch every hour
SLEEP= 7-8 hours/night, regular bedtime before 10:30 pm
HYDRATION= warm water or herbal teas
MIND= avoid excessive stress- meditation, prayer, or light music helps balance vata
SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE= 15-20 mins daily for vitamin D
You are not dealing with a dangerous disease- but a chronic low grade imbalance of your metabolism , immunity, and muscle energy The key is consistency and patience -Initial detox and pain relief= 1-2 months -Strength and immunity restoration= 3-6 months - Lifestyle discipline lifelong
If you follow this structural plan-combining Ayurvedic therapy, yoga, diet and mild monitoring- your condition can significantly improve or resolve in 4-6 months.
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
