How can persistent fever and a high CRP level be treated?
Patient: Hi sir/s, My baby child is 3 years old baby boy He is suffering in fever for last 5 days. He has been tested for dengue, which is negative. But his c CRP-C reactive protein level is high I.e 23.3 mg/l. The doctors is given him azithral antibiotic. But the fever is still continuing. What should I do please advise.... Doctor: C reactive protein is an acute phase reactant to be correlated with cbp values. If wbc count high with predominant polymorphs need to step up the antibiotics. If wbc counts normal or less to be treated as viral pyrexia with conservative management. Regards
