Question 1

My mother recently underwent a full body checkup, and the cardiac risk markers test showed that her High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (HS CRP) level is 14.83, whereas the normal level should be less than 3. Should she undergo any additional tests to check for possible cardiac issues?

Question 2

My test results are CRP 18.6 mg/L, RA factor test 12 IU/ml, and anti CCP antibodies serum greater than 340. I also have diabetes.

Question 3

I had a fever, took medicine, and recovered. However, I got fever again after 8 days (102F). I consulted a doctor who prescribed medication, but my fever persists around 100 to 101F. I underwent several tests:
Typhidot IgM: Negative
Blood culture: Negative
CBC: Normal
The doctor prescribed Taxim O and Calpol 500, and the fever subsided for 3 days but then returned to the same temperature. I switched to another doctor who ran further tests:
Thyroid (T3, T4, TSH): Normal
C reactive protein: Positive (43 mg/L)
Liver function tests: Total bilirubin 1.5 mg/dL, Direct bilirubin 0.23 mg/dL, ALT/SGPT 79 IU/L
Currently, when I take paracetamol, the fever reduces temporarily, but it returns after 5 to 6 hours. What could be the cause of this persistent low grade fever, and what should be the next steps?

Your symptoms may be due to a post viral inflammatory response or an unrelated infection. Continue Calpol and hydration. If fever persists beyond 5 to 7 days, consider repeating tests. Check for dengue, typhoid, or viral infections that mimic Covid.
