Hi, I have had a fever for the last two days and am now experiencing significant weakness. My COVID test is negative, but my CRP is 24.6. I had COVID about five months ago. My CBC, D dimer, and other tests are normal. Could this be just a regular flu, or should I be concerned about something else?

ESR may indicate inflammation or infection. If COVID and other tests are normal, this could be viral flu. Stay hydrated, rest well, and follow up with your doctor if symptoms persist. CBC, CRP and ESR is advised.
