Lately, I've been having this recurring fever for about a month and a half now, and along with it, there's been this nagging joint and body pain. It's really starting to worry me. Could you advise on what kind of tests I should consider getting done?

Get a complete blood count (CBC) test to check for any signs of infection or inflammation in your body. Additionally, a test for dengue fever or chikungunya may also be considered based on your symptoms. Please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
