FEVER : Many causes. His pediatrician will be able to answer this after a detailed history, thorough exam, evaluating all the labs, x-rays(if needed). CRP is a non-specific marker of infection. Simple prick can give rise to higher crp. If high fever continues for more than 1 week, no cause found on routine tests, it is called "fever of unknown origin"; repeated exam, further tests done to find cause.
