I have been experiencing a high fever for the past 3 days, along with intense headache, chest pain, and body aches. My CRP level in the blood test is 25 mg/L, and my blood pressure is 110/78 mmHg. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and what treatment or tests are recommended?

CRP of 25 indicates significant inflammation or infection. Fever and headache may suggest viral or bacterial illness (e.g. dengue, typhoid). Chest pain needs urgent evaluation. See a doctor for further tests.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Dengue Profile - Elisa Test

View allI had a fever, took medicine, and recovered. However, I got fever again after 8 days (102F). I consulted a doctor who prescribed medication, but my fever persists around 100 to 101F. I underwent several tests: Typhidot IgM: Negative Blood culture: Negative CBC: Normal The doctor prescribed Taxim O and Calpol 500, and the fever subsided for 3 days but then returned to the same temperature. I switched to another doctor who ran further tests: Thyroid (T3, T4, TSH): Normal C reactive protein: Positive (43 mg/L) Liver function tests: Total bilirubin 1.5 mg/dL, Direct bilirubin 0.23 mg/dL, ALT/SGPT 79 IU/L Currently, when I take paracetamol, the fever reduces temporarily, but it returns after 5 to 6 hours. What could be the cause of this persistent low grade fever, and what should be the next steps?

My baby is having fever and when tested, the blood report showed a CRP level of around 28. I want to know what can be done so that it comes under 10, as under 10 is considered normal. Are there any fruits or vegetables my baby can eat? Or any syrup or tablet that can help bring it under control? Please advise.
