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?

I've been diagnosed with typhoid just a few days ago and my Widal test showed s typhi H at 1:320. I was put on ciprofloxacin and tradamol-paracetamol, and the fever's gone, but now I'm struggling with vomiting since this morning. The doctor gave me metoclopramide vominorm tablets, which helped a bit, but the vomiting kicked back in when I drank some water. Any suggestions on what I can do next? I got my blood tested today, and the result showed Widal s typhi H at 1:40. I'm in Africa, and the medical facilities here aren't great, so any advice would be helpful.
Hydration and small, frequent sips of water or oral rehydration solution (ORS) are crucial to prevent dehydration. Continue taking metoclopramide as prescribed for nausea and vomiting, but follow up with your doctor if vomiting persists. If the vomiting continues and worsens, or if you notice any serious symptoms, you may need additional medical intervention
