Hey, I got a small scratch from my dog's teeth while we were playing yesterday. There wasn't any bleeding, but it did swell up a bit overnight and a tiny bit of skin got peeled off. It's only slightly painful. The dog is vaccinated, but should I consider taking any precautionary meds or injections?

It's been about two weeks since I got hit with dengue. I haven't had a fever for the past 4 or 5 days, but I'm feeling extremely weak is this something I should be worried about?

Question

I'm wondering if having a UTI can lead to an increase in my ESR levels. How much does ESR usually go up in a UTI? Also, what's the purpose of measuring ESR? Should I be more concerned about my ESR or CRP levels? Does CRP get elevated with a UTI too? I'm just trying to understand what's going on with these tests.
