Leave it alone: CRP isn't an illness to be treated. At best, it's a weak estimate of atherosclerosis risk to be used only as an adjunct to a history and physical assessing your other risk factors and what should be done. It's also up in some of the inflammatory illnesses but these would be obvious enough if one was present.
