High CRP of 113 with fever
Hi,
My daughter has fever for the last one week and when tested yesterday the CRP level is 113. Doctor advised admitting her but since she was active and food intake was also normal we asked him if we can wait for 2 days and see if she can improve with antibiotics. The doctor has prescribed antibiotics and she is taking it. Can we wait and see if she improves or should we admit her?
Hi. Crp is a sign of inflammation. It can be due to any infection. Based on focus of infection antibiotic must have been given. If the child is active and taking food normally you can wait as that is a sign of response to antibiotic. Other responses like fever symptoms resolutions also should be looked after to see whether there is appropriate response
