I've got a 100 fever and took a Pacimol 650 tablet about four hours ago, but I'm starting to feel feverish again. Is it okay to take another tablet now? How long do I need to wait between taking two tablets?

Concerning test results can be worrisome.

Possible reasons for high CRP:

1. Inflammation: High CRP levels indicate inflammation in the body.
2. Infection: Bacterial or viral infections can cause elevated CRP.
3. Autoimmune disorders: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus can lead to high CRP.
4. Vitamin D deficiency: Severe vitamin D deficiency, like your husband's, can contribute to inflammation.

Red skin and pain:

1. Inflammatory response: The red skin and pain in the wrist could be an inflammatory response, possibly related to the high CRP.

Prescribed medications and supplements:

1. Calcirol (Vitamin D): Will help address the severe vitamin D deficiency, which may contribute to reducing inflammation.
2. COQ10: This antioxidant may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
3. Shellcal HD 12 (Calcium supplement): Will support bone health, but its direct impact on CRP levels is unclear.

Additional recommendations:

1. Monitor CRP levels: Regularly check CRP levels to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
2. Address underlying causes: Identify and address underlying causes of inflammation, such as infections or autoimmune disorders.
3. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Encourage your husband to maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress.
