CRP 12 suggests mild inflammation, possibly post infection. Burning may be gastritis from medication or fever recovery. Eat light, avoid spicy foods, and consult your doctor if persists.

My CRP value is 3.7 mg per L. My lab report mentions that it should be less than 5 mg per L, but online sources say it should be under 3 mg per L. Which one is correct? Does this mean I have any infection or inflammation?

On 28 April, I felt mild covid symptoms, so I took basic COVID medicine for 5 days, but my test came back negative. I feel something heavy on my chest from the last 4 days, and from yesterday, sudden, unbearable chest pain started and ended after some time. I attached the medicine that I took.
