I'm dealing with typhoid fever for the last four days and recently got a CRP test that came back showing 24 mgL, but I know the normal range should be lower. Is it possible for CRP levels to rise with typhoid? Can you suggest ways to manage typhoid and help lower CRP levels?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, CRP (C-reactive protein) levels can rise during infections like typhoid fever as part of the body's inflammatory response. It's important to follow your doctor's treatment plan, which usually includes antibiotics, hydration, and rest. Additionally, a healthy diet with anti-inflammatory foods and proper hydration can help manage CRP levels. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

View allI've been diagnosed with typhoid just a few days ago and my Widal test showed s typhi H at 1:320. I was put on ciprofloxacin and tradamol-paracetamol, and the fever's gone, but now I'm struggling with vomiting since this morning. The doctor gave me metoclopramide vominorm tablets, which helped a bit, but the vomiting kicked back in when I drank some water. Any suggestions on what I can do next? I got my blood tested today, and the result showed Widal s typhi H at 1:40. I'm in Africa, and the medical facilities here aren't great, so any advice would be helpful.
Hydration and small, frequent sips of water or oral rehydration solution (ORS) are crucial to prevent dehydration. Continue taking metoclopramide as prescribed for nausea and vomiting, but follow up with your doctor if vomiting persists. If the vomiting continues and worsens, or if you notice any serious symptoms, you may need additional medical intervention
