A member asked:

My son 1y7m.has pnuemonia under treatment.after 3 days did a blood test crp is 94.3.but he looks healthy now.should i be worried.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

C-reactive protein: In a child with pneumonia, i would not be at all surprised to see an elevated crp. It will likely remain elevated until the infection resolves completely. If it remains high after he is completely recovered, i would want to evaluate further.
