I recently got back from a rainy trip to Lonavala, and since then, I've been dealing with this stubborn cold and cough. I've tried taking a bunch of different medicines, but nothing seems to be helping. Could you suggest something that might actually work?

I'm a bit worried about my C-reactive protein levels. I just got my results back, and it's showing 41 mgL. Can you tell me what this means for my health? And do you have any advice on how I could bring that number down?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body. A level of 41 mgL indicates moderate inflammation. To reduce it, you can consider taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and following an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats can help reduce inflammation. High levels of CRP are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. It is important to address the underlying cause of inflammation to prevent long-term health complications.

I'm really worried because I've had a fever on and off for a week, and I've been taking Dolo 650 and the Taxim antibiotic intermittently as prescribed by my doctor. He suggested I get another platelet test done, but since my last test was just under 24 hours ago, I was told I need to wait 24 hours before doing it again. For the last couple of days, I've been taking the meds continuously, and while I do feel a bit better, I'm not fully recovered. My body aches and my fever's hovering around 101. Could this possibly be dengue?
Considering your symptoms and the need for another platelet test, it is important to continue monitoring your condition closely. In case of suspected dengue fever, it is recommended to maintain hydration and rest. Additionally, you can consider taking Paracetamol 500mg for fever and body pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
