I'm dealing with a fever and a cold right now, plus my body aches quite a bit. My calves are really hurting today too, which is new for me. I'm also feeling a bit weak overall. Should I be worried? Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

your symptoms could be related to a variety of illnesses, with the flu or a viral infection being the most likely causes. Rest, hydration, and mild pain relievers like paracetmol can help you manage symptoms in the short term, but if they persist or worsen, it's important to see a healthcare provider

View allI've just recovered from a viral fever, but during that time, my CRP levels shot up to 25. I took medicine for about six days and got retested; now it's down to 5.27. I read online that CRP levels above 3 could indicate a risk of heart disease. Should I be worried about my current level? Could it still be elevated because of the fever, or does it say something about my heart health? Is it usual for CRP to be slightly higher after a viral infection?
Raise in crp indicates recent infection no need to worry consume vitamin rich foods and stay hydrated that will work

I'm really curious about C-reactive protein. I heard it can indicate inflammation in the body, but I'm not entirely sure what it means for overall health. What are the possible ways to reduce its levels? Is there more information I should know about it? I'm kind of worried because I've been told my levels are a bit high.
C-reactive protein also known as CRP is a substance produced by liver and it's produced in response to inflammation. The way to reduce is to treat the cause. As inflammation reduces, CRP will reduce
