My daughter is having fever for the last four days. Our pediatrician said it is a viral infection since it is in the air. But after blood reports were done her blood report shows CRP is 161. What does it mean? Please help me

A CRP of 161 shows strong inflammation, likely from viral infection. Continue fluids and medicine. Monitor closely. If fever lasts or worsens, repeat tests or change in treatment may be needed.

After my mother blood test results, we found that her C reactive protein is positive. Is this a major concern? Could you please suggest preventive measures?

I am 32 years old and recently tested positive for COVID 19. I have undergone tests for CRP, dengue, CBC, malaria, and typhoid, and all reports came back normal except for my CRP level, which is 77.46 mg/L. What does this mean, and should I be concerned?

Six days ago my sister developed a red spot in one eye. After two days, she started having fever in the evening only, with a maximum temperature of 99.6F, along with slight stomach upset. Her COVID test is negative. I have attached her blood report, done today. Her CRP is 0.38 and platelet count is 115. Please suggest whether this could be COVID or some other issue. Apart from the evening fever and slight stomach upset, her eye is perfectly fine and she has no other symptoms.
