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.

My mom's been running a high fever for the last couple of days. The doctor suggested she take doxcef cv, dolo 650, and meftal 500. She's been on these meds for a bit now, but her fever isnt dropping below 102. Can we give her meftal two hours after she takes dolo? Any advice would be appreciated.

It's generally safe to alternate Dolo 650 and Meftal 500 for fever management, but they should be spaced out by at least 4 hours, not 2 hours. Since her fever is persistent, it might be helpful to contact the doctor again for further evaluation. Keep her hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly.
