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?

Can you get chicken pox twice?

Most people who have had chicken pox once will be immune to the disease for lifetime but reinfection may happen in persons with suppressed immunity. Also, the virus may remain inactive in the nerves and may reactivate anytime later in life.

My son's been coughing for more than 20 days now and he's been taking zest syrup and some antibiotics, but it just won't go away. It's not a dry cough and he also starts sneezing when he coughs. What should I do?

It seems he is suffering from respiratory tract infection. Any cough of more than 21 days duration can be due to Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
