My father received the Covaxin vaccine on 3rd April. For the past 15 days, he has had a fever ranging from 99 to 101F, which is partially relieved with Crocin. COVID antigen and RTPCR tests were negative. He is also experiencing shortness of breath (28 breaths per minute). His recent blood reports show: RBC: 2.1 million/microlitre Hemoglobin: 9.2 g/dl WBC: 14.4 by 10000/microlitre CRP: 217 Serum creatinine: 3.21 mg/dl Iron: 24 microgram/dl Bilirubin direct: 0.6 mg/dl Urine report is normal, with no pus or abnormalities, and he has no issues while passing urine. Could his continuous fever, shortness of breath, and anemia be due to kidney problems? Please advise what could be causing these symptoms and the next steps for evaluation and treatment.

High CRP and creatinine with anemia and low RBC indicate possible kidney infection or sepsis. Needs urgent hospital care and nephrologist consult.

My baby is having fever and when tested, the blood report showed a CRP level of around 28. I want to know what can be done so that it comes under 10, as under 10 is considered normal. Are there any fruits or vegetables my baby can eat? Or any syrup or tablet that can help bring it under control? Please advise.
