C reactive protein high
Couple of days back my husband had vomitting and loose motions which stopped after taking medicine.After that he has fever around 100-101 which comes down after taking paracetamol but comes back after sometime. He is been coughing as well. We have done blood tests and his C reactive protein is high 24.3 and WBC count is low 3.8. Is it the sign of malaria?

Hi., I can understand your concern. In most viral and bacterial infection, crp will be higher. If malaria, he'll be having chills at night.
