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'm feeling really worried because I've been experiencing something like an internal fever. My palms and feet are constantly burning, and I'm not sure what's going on. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
You may need investigations such as CBC to rule out infections. You may require antipyretics or antiinflammatory medication. In the mean time, avoid cold food and water, do not skip meals and opt for a softer diet before progressing to heavier foods and increase intake of vitamin C rich foods such as citric fruits. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.

I've been noticing something odd with my body temperatureit rises to about 98.3 or 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon and evening, but it seems to dip below 98 degrees in the mornings and at night. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about these fluctuations?
A fluctuating body temperature between 98F and 98.4F throughout the day is generally considered normal, as the body's temperature naturally varies due to factors like circadian rhythms, physical activity, and environmental conditions, but if you're concerned or experience other symptoms like fever, chills, or fatigue, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying health issues.
