Accepted Answer

A CRP (C-Reactive Protein) level of 65 is elevated, indicating inflammation or infection. However, it's not necessarily dangerous, especially since your daughter doesn't have any visible inflammation.

1. Infection: Bacterial or viral infections can cause elevated CRP levels.
2. Inflammation: CRP levels can rise in response to inflammation, even if there's no visible inflammation.

_Antibiotics and Treatment_

1. The doctor's prescription of antibiotics for 3 days is a standard approach to treating potential bacterial infections.
2. Monitor your daughter's condition and CRP levels after completing the antibiotic course.

_When to Worry_

1. If your daughter's CRP levels remain elevated or increase despite treatment.
2. If she develops symptoms like fever, vomiting, or severe abdominal pain.
3. If she has a history of underlying medical conditions or weakened immunity.

_Next Steps_

2. Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to re-check CRP levels and assess your daughter's condition.
3. Keep an eye on your daughter's overall health and watch for any concerning symptoms.

Question 4

I'm really concerned about my 5-year-old daughter. Her recent urine test showed pus cells in the range of 8-10 per HPF. Is this something we should be worried about? What's considered normal for a child her age? I'm worried if this could be dangerous...

Accepted Answer

The normal ratio of pus cells in the urine of a 5-year-old girl is usually less than 5 per high power field (HPF). Therefore, 8-10 pus cells per HPF may indicate an infection. While a UTI is not usually dangerous, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent complications such as kidney infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
