Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
CRP is a c reactive protein. It is indicator of inflammation. Its level increase in any type of inflammation. SO if you have still high crp then you should take anti inflammtory drug. Cold has no relation with CRP if there is no inflammation.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
