Question 1

My sister recently had a CRP test, and her results showed a value of 11 to 12 mg/L, which the report mentions as highly positive. I started researching CRP levels online and became very worried, as I read that CRP above 4 mg/L can be associated with serious conditions like heart disease and cancer. My sister has a 4 month old baby, and her doctor has recommended one tablet to help reduce the CRP level, but mentioned that it may alter the taste of her breast milk. Could you please advise what should be done to safely reduce her CRP levels, considering she is breastfeeding? Are there lifestyle or dietary measures that can help lower CRP naturally?

Question 2

My RT PCR report is negative and I have completed 24 days in self isolation. Today I underwent a CRP test which shows Q 3.15 (0 to 6). I want to know the CRP measuring unit is mg/L, but my report shows 3.15 without a unit. Please tell me if this is a valid CRP report or not?

Question 3

I had viral fever 3 days ago. My initial blood report showed CRP level at 24 mg/L. I received a high dosage of antibiotics through IV for the last 3 days. I repeated the CRP test and it came at 25.5. I am very concerned why the CRP level is still high. Can this be a cause of something serious?

Hi Doctor, I have tested positive for COVID. I have attached my report for your review. Could you please let me know if the infection appears mild or serious, and approximately how long recovery may take?

Most mild COVID cases recover in 7 to 14 days with rest and monitoring. Check oxygen saturation daily. If no breathlessness, it is likely a mild infection. Drink fluids, isolate, and monitor fever. Report any chest heaviness or shortness of breath.
