I'm really worried about my 3-year-old nephew. His CRP levels have been elevated 45 times over the past eight months, even though all his other tests, like the CBC and urine exams, come back normal. His CRP is currently at 20. Before, he would have a fever when the CRP level increased, but this time he's just not eating well and has been vomiting. What could be causing these recurring raised CRP levels? What steps should we take?

I'm giving him Enterogermina, but he's still having loose stools about 7 to 8 times a day. I'm really worried since he's so little, and the antibiotic course is still going on. What should I do to help him?

My little girl is 2 and almost 11 months and just a couple of days ago, she came down with a fever. We got a urine routine test done and the results mentioned that ketones were present at 50.0 mgdl and pus cells are at 10-15 WBCHPF. I'm really worried about the ketones; are they something dangerous? What should I be aware of or do next?
Pre-Pregnancy Concerns and Symptoms _Pregnancy Possibility_ 1. _Low risk, but possible_: While the risk of pregnancy from non-penetrative sexual activity is low, it's not impossible, especially if there was pre-ejaculation or ejaculation near the vaginal opening. 2. _Pre-ejaculation fluid can contain sperm_: Pre-ejaculation fluid can contain sperm, which can potentially fertilize an egg. _Symptoms and Early Signs of Pregnancy_ 1. _Common symptoms_: Burps (gas), constipation, nipple pain, and pimple formation can be early signs of pregnancy, but they can also be caused by other factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or digestive issues. 2. _Not conclusive evidence_: These symptoms alone do not confirm pregnancy. _Next Steps_ 1. _Take a pregnancy test_: Wait until after your expected period (around 4-5 days after your missed period) and take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or visit a healthcare provider for a blood test. 2. _Consult a healthcare provider_: If you're concerned about pregnancy or experiencing symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for guidance and support.
