After my mother blood test results, we found that her C reactive protein is positive. Is this a major concern? Could you please suggest preventive measures?

A positive CRP indicates inflammation or infection. It is not a disease itself but a marker. Follow the doctor advice, and once the cause is treated, CRP usually returns to normal.

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

My daughter has had continuous fever for 4 days, and even with paracetamol, it is not coming down. Her blood report shows CRP 35. She has been vomiting, feeling tired, and has not been eating for the last 3 days. Is this a serious concern? Her chest Xray shows an infection.
