Patient's question:
I haven't had much energy recently, and my throat is a bit sore. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the blood test results showed that everything else was fine, but the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein was elevated. What illness could this be?Hello, what does a high level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein indicate? Please tell me, doctor. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Increased hypersensitive C-reactive protein generally indicates an acute infection. Moreover, you have symptoms such as sore throat and fatigue, so it is likely acute pharyngitis. It is recommended to come to the hospital for examination, as the treatment will be more effective based on your condition. At the same time, avoid spicy and irritating foods, get plenty of rest, drink more warm water, eat more vegetables and fruits, pay attention to personal hygiene, and maintain a balanced diet. It is advised to undergo additional tests to identify the cause of the inflammation. Treatment with a sensitive antibiotic is recommended.
