My daughter has had continuous fever for 4 days, and even with paracetamol, it is not coming down. Her blood report shows CRP 35. She has been vomiting, feeling tired, and has not been eating for the last 3 days. Is this a serious concern? Her chest Xray shows an infection.

A CRP of 35 with persistent high fever, vomiting, and loss of appetite in a child is concerning. Since the chest Xray shows infection, this could be a lower respiratory tract infection or pneumonia. Please consult a pediatrician urgently for antibiotic treatment. Continue paracetamol and maintain hydration until help is reached.

I have been on various DMARDs over the past few years. Initially, I took HCQS 400 for about one year, then Mexate 10 to 20 mg weekly for nearly another year, followed by Folitrax 20 mg weekly for one year. Currently, I am on Rumalef 10 mg daily. Could you please suggest which medicines might be best suited for me now? My recent test report shows, GMS is nil, Stc is 0, TTC is 14, PEI is 334, SGOT/SGPT is 26/34, and CRP is 503.

My sister recently had a CRP test, and her results showed a value of 11 to 12 mg/L, which the report mentions as highly positive. I started researching CRP levels online and became very worried, as I read that CRP above 4 mg/L can be associated with serious conditions like heart disease and cancer. My sister has a 4 month old baby, and her doctor has recommended one tablet to help reduce the CRP level, but mentioned that it may alter the taste of her breast milk. Could you please advise what should be done to safely reduce her CRP levels, considering she is breastfeeding? Are there lifestyle or dietary measures that can help lower CRP naturally?
