I'm really worried about my condition. I've been dealing with typhoid for the last three months and was on monocef injections. Now, I'm constantly getting a low-grade fever between 99 and 100, especially after even a small amount of exertion, though it gets better with rest. I was just told I have a vitamin D deficiency with a level of 7.3 from the CLIA method, and my blood pressure seems low too. I'm not currently taking any medication. What could be causing all of this, and what should I do next?

I'm dealing with this fever that keeps coming and going for the past month, and my head's been hurting a lot too. I even got a corona test done, and it came back negative. What should I do next?

The doctor's concerns warrant further investigation. Consult a pediatrician or a pediatric nephrologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out kidney issues. Allergy testing and growth monitoring can also help identify underlying causes. Request diagnostic tests like urinalysis, ultrasound, or blood work to determine the cause of the puffiness under your son's eyes.

I'm a bit worried after getting my blood test results which show that my CRP level is 1.6 mgL. I've read that this is considered a moderate risk, but I'm not exactly sure what it all means. Could you help me understand more about CRP and whether there's anything to be concerned about with my health?

CRP is indirect marker for active or recent infection,your CRP levels are normal no need to worry,consume balanced diet and more fruits.
