You should instead be doing a WBC count with a breakdown of neutrophils and other leukocytes, not a CRP which is highly non-specific

You should be doing both. WCC and neutrophils can also be misleading, and tend to fluctuate. Procalcitonin can be helpful in some situations but isn’t used as often.
