A temperature range of 98-99.7F (36.7-37.6C) is slightly below or within the normal range, but when combined with body weakness and fatigue, it could indicate a low-grade infection, inflammation, or a viral illness, and it's also possible that you might be experiencing a post-viral fatigue syndrome or a mild case of COVID-19, so it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and guidance.

I've just recovered from a viral fever, but during that time, my CRP levels shot up to 25. I took medicine for about six days and got retested; now it's down to 5.27. I read online that CRP levels above 3 could indicate a risk of heart disease. Should I be worried about my current level? Could it still be elevated because of the fever, or does it say something about my heart health? Is it usual for CRP to be slightly higher after a viral infection?

Raise in crp indicates recent infection no need to worry consume vitamin rich foods and stay hydrated that will work
