What to do if children have high C-reactive protein and recurrent fever

The increase of C-reactive protein in children suggests that it is basically due to inflammation, mostly bacterial infection, which requires the application of antibiotics. If you are not allergic to penicillin or cephalosporins, you can take penicillin or cephalosporins orally. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, you need to use antipyretic drugs, because antipyretic drugs treat the symptoms but not the root cause, can only temporarily make the body temperature drop, not to let high fever lead to adverse reactions in children, such as febrile convulsions. Therefore, when high fever occurs, antipyretic drugs should be used to reduce fever in a timely manner, but the main thing is to apply antibiotics to reduce inflammation. When the inflammation is controlled the C-reactive protein value will naturally drop to normal, at which time the child’s body temperature will drop and no more fever will occur.
