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?

Persistent high CRP suggests ongoing inflammation. Could be secondary bacterial infection. Please repeat CRP and Procalcitonin. Take the test immediately.

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a PCT (Procalcitonin) Blood Test Test

I went to a GP on the first day itself, and he prescribed antibiotics for 7 days. However, some symptoms like ear pain, headache, yellowish mucus, and upper jaw pain are still present even after completing the medicine. My initial symptoms were high fever, blood in mucus from nose and mouth, yellowish mucus, sore throat, one-sided ear and headache, and upper jaw pain. X ray report: Both maxillary sinuses are hazy Blood report: Monocytes: 1 percent MCH: 26.6 pg SGPT: 49 U/L CRP Tubilatex: 2.4 (All other parameters are normal) Please tell me what to do next and what these results mean?

I am 13 weeks pregnant and had a fever. The doctor gave me a blood test, and I am sending my report. I have a low TWBC count in my blood. Is this a problem for me or my baby?
