C-reactive protein is high after taking anti-inflammatory drugs

The purpose of using anti-inflammatory drugs is to kill bacteria and inhibit the invasion and reproduction of foreign viruses, thereby fundamentally solving the problem of inflammation. Some patients still show high C-reactive protein after taking anti-inflammatory drugs according to the doctor's instructions. This situation is still related to bacterial infection in the body. At this time, the dose of anti-inflammatory drugs should be increased according to the patient's own condition. But all this is done only on doctor's advice. Let’s take a look at the specific situation.

The baby's C-reactive protein is high, which means there is a bacterial infection in the body. The ineffectiveness of cephalosporin indicates that it is not a sensitive antibiotic. It is also recommended to further check blood culture to see if the pathogenic bacteria can be found. Ibuprofen can be used to reduce fever. Give your baby plenty of water. Switch to penicillin to continue anti-infection treatment. The treatment effect is best when using sensitive antibiotics after waiting for the results of the drug sensitivity test. High C-reactive protein and high fever are more supportive of bacterial infection. But the possibility of viral infection cannot be ruled out. There may be other reasons, which cannot be diagnosed based on the current information. If there is a bacterial infection, it is best treated with antibiotics.

1. High C-reactive protein indicates that it is caused by inflammation. The baby’s condition is definitely caused by purulent tonsillitis. Also note that the treatment time for tonsillitis is relatively long. Generally, if it is an infusion treatment, the recommended time is at least five days. At the same time, oral medication is recommended for three to five days after the infusion is stopped, so children still need anti-infection treatment.

3. A high C-reactive protein value indicates inflammation. It is recommended to continue antibiotic treatment and consider blood culture sensitivity testing. Based on the test results, choose a more appropriate antibiotic. If the baby has a high fever that won't go away and parents discover this problem, they should take him to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, so as to achieve early detection and early treatment.

C-reactive protein is an infection-specific protein, which means that this value will increase when there is inflammation in various parts of the body. Some people may also have a slight increase in this value if they have a mild cold, are recently tired and have not rested enough, or smoke too much. Generally speaking, this indicator will decrease after the infection factor is eliminated. Eat more vegetables and fruits every day, develop good living habits and lifestyle, and exercise every day.
