Dear Doctor, an 8 year old girl has been suffering from fever, and her blood report shows a haemoglobin level of 10.1, a total leukocyte count of 3700, and a C reactive protein level of 22 mg per dL. I am concerned about these results and would like to know if this situation is an emergency.

A raised CRP suggests infection, and low TLC can occur in viral fevers. It is not necessarily an emergency, but please consult a paediatrician soon for examination and treatment.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

Question

My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.
