I am suffering from high grade fever of 104 degrees F with sore throat and nasal congestion. Blood tests for dengue and malaria are negative, and the urine test report is normal. My CRP level is 32. I received the second dose of Covishield one week ago. What could be the cause of the elevated CRP level? I am already taking medication for high cholesterol and hypertension.

CRP 32 indicates inflammation, possibly viral or post vaccine response. Monitor temperature and symptoms. If fever persists more than 3 days, consult a doctor. Do required tests to rule out infection.

I have had a fever for the last two weeks. I checked with a doctor and he said it is fluctuating fever and all my blood reports are normal. But it is still the same and I am feeling pain in my body like a bee bite?

My blood report shows a slightly higher CRP of 4.17 and increased immunoglobulin levels. I do not have any symptoms, and all other tests are normal: LDL cholesterol 98, ESR 10, blood pressure normal, and fasting sugar 71. What could be the reason for these findings?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My CRP value is 3.7 mg per L. My lab report mentions that it should be less than 5 mg per L, but online sources say it should be under 3 mg per L. Which one is correct? Does this mean I have any infection or inflammation?
