Question 1

My sister recently had a CRP test, and her results showed a value of 11 to 12 mg/L, which the report mentions as highly positive. I started researching CRP levels online and became very worried, as I read that CRP above 4 mg/L can be associated with serious conditions like heart disease and cancer. My sister has a 4 month old baby, and her doctor has recommended one tablet to help reduce the CRP level, but mentioned that it may alter the taste of her breast milk. Could you please advise what should be done to safely reduce her CRP levels, considering she is breastfeeding? Are there lifestyle or dietary measures that can help lower CRP naturally?

Question 2

My test results are CRP 18.6 mg/L, RA factor test 12 IU/ml, and anti CCP antibodies serum greater than 340. I also have diabetes.

Question 3

Patchy inflammation in both upper lobes as I was detected covid positive twenty days earlier. Now my report is negative but I still have some heaviness in the chest. CRP is 11.10 and IL6 is 23.58. Should I go for steroids as suggested by doctors or should I wait and manage with steaming and turmeric milk. Will I recover on my own?

High CRP indicates inflammation or infection. Persistent fever needs re evaluation. Consult physician to rule out dengue, COVID, or typhoid.
