Question 1

My daughter has been getting a fever of around 100F almost every month for the past few months. It lasts 1-2 days, and the doctor usually suggests Combiflame. This time, the doctor ordered a CRP test, and the result came back with a CRP level of 65. He prescribed antibiotics for 4 days and asked for another CRP test after that. I'm really worried about her condition. Is this something common in kids, or should we be concerned?

Accepted Answer

A CRP level of 65 indicates a moderate to high level of inflammation in the body. The antibiotics prescribed by the doctor are aimed at treating the possible bacterial infection. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed and follow up with the doctor for the repeat CRP test to monitor the response to treatment. Given the situation, it is essential to follow the doctor's advice closely, complete the course of antibiotics, and monitor your daughter's symptoms. If there are any concerning symptoms or if the fever persists, do not hesitate to contact your doctor for further evaluation and management.
