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.

I am 13 weeks pregnant and had a fever. The doctor gave me a blood test, and I am sending my report. I have a low TWBC count in my blood. Is this a problem for me or my baby?

I am suffering from high grade fever of 104 degrees F with sore throat and nasal congestion. Blood tests for dengue and malaria are negative, and the urine test report is normal. My CRP level is 32. I received the second dose of Covishield one week ago. What could be the cause of the elevated CRP level? I am already taking medication for high cholesterol and hypertension.
