Please help me interpret my hs CRP value, which is reported as 14.42 mg/L in my blood test. When I consulted my doctor, they mentioned that hs CRP can increase due to any type of inflammation in the body. I recently underwent an RCT and a tooth implant procedure. Should I repeat the test to reassess the hs CRP level, or is this elevation expected due to the recent dental treatments?

hs-CRP is more than 10 mg/L often indicates acute inflammation. Dental procedures can raise levels temporarily. If no fever or symptoms now, wait 1 to 2 weeks and repeat.

Patchy inflammation in both upper lobes as I was detected covid positive twenty days earlier. Now my report is negative but I still have some heaviness in the chest. CRP is 11.10 and IL6 is 23.58. Should I go for steroids as suggested by doctors or should I wait and manage with steaming and turmeric milk. Will I recover on my own?

I got my blood test report today and it shows that my CRP serum value is 9.00. I want to know what this indicates and how I can regulate it.

I have been experiencing a high fever for the past 3 days, along with intense headache, chest pain, and body aches. My CRP level in the blood test is 25 mg/L, and my blood pressure is 110/78 mmHg. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and what treatment or tests are recommended?
