Thank you for your question and congratulations for your little angel. But it is sad that she is having infection. Yes the protein level is high, she must have infection. Culture sensitivity is required for csf.
Next Steps
Culture sensitivity and followed by full course of antibiotics

In future be cautious and prevent any further infection
