Question 1

Hi Doctor. My mother, aged 57, in her regular blood test report got the value of hs CRP as 6.9. There is no history of cardiovascular issues. Is this a cause for concern?

Question 2

I went to a GP on the first day itself, and he prescribed antibiotics for 7 days. However, some symptoms like ear pain, headache, yellowish mucus, and upper jaw pain are still present even after completing the medicine. My initial symptoms were high fever, blood in mucus from nose and mouth, yellowish mucus, sore throat, one-sided ear and headache, and upper jaw pain.
X ray report: Both maxillary sinuses are hazy
Blood report:
Monocytes: 1 percent
MCH: 26.6 pg
SGPT: 49 U/L
CRP Tubilatex: 2.4
(All other parameters are normal)
Please tell me what to do next and what these results mean?

Question 3

After experiencing diarrhea, I often develop swelling in my knees and ankles, along with pain in my neck, elbows, and other joints. Since March, my condition has worsened to the point where I am bedridden, with extreme pain along my spinal cord and swelling in my left knee. My HLA B27 test result came back as weakly positive. What does this mean, and will I be able to recover and return to normal again?

CRP indicates inflammation or infection. Once the infection is treated with proper medication such as antibiotics if needed, CRP usually drops. Give fluids, fruits like apple or banana, and rest. Avoid raw or uncooked food.
