I am a 20 year old boy working in a chemical factory. I have been experiencing fever for the past month. After consulting a doctor, I was advised to undergo a C reactive protein test, and the report is attached. We are unsure about the significance of the high CRP value and would like your help in understanding the report.

High CRP means inflammation or infection. Persistent fever for more than 1 week needs detailed evaluation. It could be infection, inflammation, or exposure related. Follow up urgently.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE (ESR) Test

On 28 April, I felt mild covid symptoms, so I took basic COVID medicine for 5 days, but my test came back negative. I feel something heavy on my chest from the last 4 days, and from yesterday, sudden, unbearable chest pain started and ended after some time. I attached the medicine that I took.
