I'm having a sore throat that's gotten a lot better over the last couple of days and some discomfort in my chest. I've also been coughing a bit, mostly like I'm trying to clear my throat. I got back from Delhi about 12 days ago and I do have anxiety and GERD. I'm a smoker but I've cut down a lot recently. I haven't had any fever or cold symptoms though. Could this still be corona?

I'm really worried because my CRP level is way higher than normal at 39.1. I've also been dealing with a high fever. What could be causing this and how should I go about treating it?

Common causes of elevated CRP levels include infections, inflammatory conditions, tissue injury, and chronic diseases. To treat this, you may need to address the underlying cause. If it is due to an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. If it is due to inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be recommended. In the case of chronic diseases, managing the underlying condition is important. For your high fever, you can take acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) to help reduce the fever and make sure to stay hydrated. Rest is also important to help your body fight off the infection or inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your specific condition.
