My IL 6 level is 23.1 pg/mL and CRP is 44 mg/L. It is the 18th day since the onset of my COVID 19 symptoms. My oxygen saturation is between 92 to 94 percent. Could you please advise on the next steps and whether I need urgent medical attention?

Raised IL 6 and CRP suggest inflammation. Oxygen levels less than 94 percent need medical attention. Consult for possible steroid or oxygen support. Do not delay.

Take a IL-6 Test Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

View allMy sister recently had a CRP test, and her results showed a value of 11 to 12 mg/L, which the report mentions as highly positive. I started researching CRP levels online and became very worried, as I read that CRP above 4 mg/L can be associated with serious conditions like heart disease and cancer. My sister has a 4 month old baby, and her doctor has recommended one tablet to help reduce the CRP level, but mentioned that it may alter the taste of her breast milk. Could you please advise what should be done to safely reduce her CRP levels, considering she is breastfeeding? Are there lifestyle or dietary measures that can help lower CRP naturally?
