thanks for your question. well fever for 3 days...with crp in viral range...kindly look for
1. how high is the fever
2. any other complaints if child has like cough , burning urination, vomitting or loose stools or throat pain.
viral illness does produce high grade fever and it takes 4 to 5 days to come down. so wait for another 48 hours and if fever is not less then it warrants blood work and examination.
