High hs CRP value

Hello Doctor, My check-up on today showed a significantly elevated hs-CRP of 35.50 mg/L. I would appreciate your advice on the possible cause and further investigations. I underwent root canal treatment last week and took antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication for 3 days. My blood sample was collected approximately one week later. I also had a small lip wound, which is healing. I have no fever or chills but experience morning sneezing. Other important results: • LDL: 129, HDL: 35, total cholesterol: 177, triglycerides: 76 mg/dL • HbA1c: 5.5%; fasting glucose: 92 mg/dL • Haemoglobin: 14.6 g/dL; WBC: 8.80 • Creatinine: 0.94 mg/dL; ALT: 35 U/L I also have persistent calf pain that started before my recent air travel. A doctor examined me today and felt it was not concerning. Could the elevated hs-CRP be related to the dental treatment or lip wound? Would you recommend repeating CRP or conducting further investigations?
