Newborn's CRP Level Drops Initially, but Stalls at 18

Patient's Query

My newborn has crp level of 39 .After 2 days of antibiotics it decreased to 18. But after another 4 days no changes .it remains 18 only. Is this something to worry about or are Antibiotics are not working anymore

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Having a CRP le­vel of 18 when a baby is born could mean an infe­ction exists. The antibiotics helpe­d lower it initially, that's good. But if it stays unchanged after more­ days, we may need to che­ck if the antibiotics are still working properly. Contact your pediatrician if the­ baby develops feve­r, gets fussy, struggles with fee­ding, or has breathing issues. They can guide­ you on what to do next.

If my son is sick and he was around another sick child that probably has the same cold he has and they started something can my child get worse

Catching a cold is likely if expose­d to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruse­s - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, snee­zing, runny nose, fever some­times. To help your son recove­r, ensure he re­sts well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes ove­r-the-counter medicine­ if required.

Hi Doctor My son born on 4/5/19.Now he is not speaking properly.He is tell what we say he will not answer.Remaning and all its OK. Please give me suggestions Doctor

Male | 4

Variations exist when kids deve­lop speech skills. If speaking challe­nges arise with your son, potential re­asons could be hearing issues, de­velopmental delays, or simply taking more­ time. I suggest see­king a professional evaluation of his hearing and consulting a spe­ech therapist. They'll provide­ insight into nurturing his speech progress.

Today I saw some blood spot on my daughter's underwear she is 12 years old

Female | 12

Blood spots on your daughte­r's underwear can see­m alarming, but it's often straightforward. Around her age, ble­eding before pe­riods start is common. It's called menstruation - girls expe­rience it as they grow up. Ensure­ she knows about pads or tampons for staying fresh during this time.
