The best person to answer this question is the one who is treating her at present.
Her treatment depends purely on the examination findings. CRP will come down automatically once the infection is controlled.

Being a MD Medicine doctor, i would say that she may need Inhaler for few days. CRP is just an indicator of infection here, it's not that high. You need to check O2 saturation sometimes 4 hourly. If any confusion, may consult online.

Thank you for sharing the details about your mother’s condition. Based on the information provided:
- **Bronchitis with CRP 35** indicates a significant inflammatory response, likely due to a bacterial infection (normal CRP is typically <10 mg/L).
- While the chest X-ray shows no pneumonia ("milk bronchitis" suggests mild changes), the elevated CRP warrants close monitoring.
- **Azithromycin for 4 days** may not have been sufficient, and **amoxicillin 625 mg** is a reasonable next step if a bacterial infection is suspected.
**Key Recommendations:**
1. **Monitor closely** for worsening fever, breathlessness, or persistent cough.
2. **Hydration and steam inhalation** can help loosen mucus.
3. **Repeat CRP after 48–72 hours** if symptoms persist to assess treatment response.
**Important Note:**
CRP 35 is moderately high, and without a physical examination or detailed history (e.g., oxygen levels, comorbidities like diabetes), it’s difficult to gauge severity fully. **I strongly advise a consultation** to ensure proper evaluation and avoid complications.
For further guidance, you can reach me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**. Let’s prioritize your mother’s recovery with a detailed assessment.
