I'm really puzzled about my C-reactive protein levels. My latest test showed it at 7.5 mgL, and the lab says the normal range is up to 8 mgL. Converted, it's 0.75 mgdL. I've been doing regular check-ups, but some of the doctors on Practo are suggesting that my CRP level is high, and even recommending antibiotics. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my results or if the lab has a different standard. Why would doctors say my CRP is high? Is there a mistake?

I'm experiencing a mouth ulcer that's almost cured now after taking Becosules, but I'm still having a fever with no relief. Whenever I take paracetamol, I end up sweating. Can a mouth ulcer actually cause fever, or is there something else I should be worried about?

yes
