I had viral fever 3 days back. Initial blood report found CRP level at 24mg\L.
Had high dosage of antibiotic through IV since last 3 days. Again CRP test done, and it came at 25.5. I am very concerned at why the crp level is still high. Can this be cause of something serious.

You said that you have taken IV antibiotics. It is safe to presume that it was not self medication. If it was prescribed by a Doctor, please consult with the same Doctor for further management.
