Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
C-reactive protein (CRP) protein found in blood plasma. It has normal level is between 5 and 10 mg/L.Higher levels indicate mild inflammation in viral infections (10–40 mg/L), active inflammation, bacterial infection, etc.
so CRP value of 13.5 mg/L indicate some kind of mild infection in your daughter.
Hoping your query is solved
