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.

Hi Doctor, I have been a primary contact of two COVID positive patients. I have tested negative by RTPCR and HRCT, and my blood reports are normal. However, I have been experiencing a persistent fever of up to 102F for the past three days. I do not have any other symptoms. I am currently taking Calpol 650 three times a day, along with zinc and vitamin C supplements. Could you please advise if this is concerning and how I should proceed with this condition?

Hi Doctor. My mother, aged 57, in her regular blood test report got the value of hs CRP as 6.9. There is no history of cardiovascular issues. Is this a cause for concern?

My test results are CRP 18.6 mg/L, RA factor test 12 IU/ml, and anti CCP antibodies serum greater than 340. I also have diabetes.
