What is the source of infection, crp.high indicate infection , so do the x ray chest or hrct chest. If completed antibiotic course, and he is fine without any symptoms .then nothing to worry.

Now no need of ct scan . If symptoms like cough , fever , body ache are more . Then you can consider ct scan. Better to isolate the patient.
