My CRP value is 3.7 mg per L. My lab report mentions that it should be less than 5 mg per L, but online sources say it should be under 3 mg per L. Which one is correct? Does this mean I have any infection or inflammation?

CRP of 3.7 is mildly elevated but not diagnostic. It could be due to recent infection, inflammation, or stress. Monitor clinically.

I have had a fever for the past 5 days, around 101F in the morning and night, along with body pain and cough. I have been taking antibiotics and Dolo, but the fever is not going away. My recent blood test shows a C reactive protein (CRP) level of 46. I have attached my report for your review. Could you please check it and advise if something is wrong and what I should do next?

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?
