You can apply any gel to help reduce the pain,  hot water packs and massage also gives temporary relief. Post viral joint pain may remain for a while.  Give pain medication only when pain is severe.

Yes, it can be used. Post viral joint pain tends to linger on for a quite a while, where palliative treatment is the modality of choice in mild cases.
