CRP 12 suggests mild inflammation, possibly post infection. Burning may be gastritis from medication or fever recovery. Eat light, avoid spicy foods, and consult your doctor if persists.

My father has recovered from Covid. It has been 25 days and he tested negative recently. He has an elevated blood sugar level which is now under control, but he is getting fever. What might be the cause? I have attached his blood report. Is there anything to worry about or is this common after Covid? Please kindly advise.

I got my blood test report today and it shows that my CRP serum value is 9.00. I want to know what this indicates and how I can regulate it.

Six days ago my sister developed a red spot in one eye. After two days, she started having fever in the evening only, with a maximum temperature of 99.6F, along with slight stomach upset. Her COVID test is negative. I have attached her blood report, done today. Her CRP is 0.38 and platelet count is 115. Please suggest whether this could be COVID or some other issue. Apart from the evening fever and slight stomach upset, her eye is perfectly fine and she has no other symptoms.
