Question 3

My little one is one and a half years old, and he's running a fever of 101.4 degrees. I've been giving him 6ml of Crocin since last night, but his temperature hasn't come down. I'm really worried about why it's not improving. What should I do next? Is there anything else I should try or look out for? I just want to make sure he's okay.

I'm really concerned about a 4-month-old baby who's been having a fever for a whole week now. Yesterday, we got his blood and urine reports, and they showed an increased CRP level of 30 points when it should be around 5. Does this mean something serious? What should we do next?

Yes high CRP says there is active infection needs a complete course of antibiotics,no need to woory follow your doctors advice and give your baby adequate feed
