Hello Doctor, My baby is 11 months old and had a fever for the past week. We consulted a doctor and she took Amoxycillin for 5 days. For the last three days, there was no fever, but she still had cough and cold. Now the fever has returned with a temperature of 99F. For cold we are using Moticope drops, and for cough, Korafast drops. We did a blood test, and the results are normal. I am very worried about why the fever has returned. I am attaching the blood test report for reference.

Recurrent fever after antibiotics may indicate unresolved viral/bacterial infection or post viral inflammation. Since the blood test was normal, monitor closely. Continue prescribed medicines and consult your pediatrician for further evaluation.

Should I be worried if my doctor wants to do more blood tests?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Yesterday, I had a blood test due to a lump under my ear. The report shows my CRP level is 22.9. Could you please explain what might cause this elevated CRP level, and whether it is something serious?
