Patient's question:
I did a blood test for my baby when she was three months old, and the hypersensitive C-reactive protein was 110 high. On February 25th, she had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. I immediately took her to the pediatrician and gave her intravenous fluids. She stopped having a fever after three days. She has now been on intravenous fluids for four days, but the hypersensitive C-reactive protein in the blood test is still a bit high. Is this a serious problem? She has been in good spirits these days and has been having yellow bowel movements. She has also been eating well.Treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been administered.
Request for help: I would like to know what exactly the hypersensitive C-reactive protein test checks for.
Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of fever is acute upper respiratory tract infection caused by viral infection. You can take antiviral drugs such as Pu Dilan Oral Liquid and Jinlian Qingre Effervescent Tablets to carefully observe. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, take Meilin to reduce fever. If the high fever does not subside, you need to go to the hospital for a urine test to see if there is a bacterial infection. Bacterial infection also needs to be treated with cefalexin. High CRP indicates infection.
