Very high ESR suggests inflammation, infection, or autoimmune disease. Needs evaluation for polymyalgia rheumatica or rheumatoid arthritis.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test

What is the treatment for high ESR in blood?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had COVID a few months ago and tested negative after 14 days. Today, I received my COVID vaccination, as 3 months had passed since recovery. I have been experiencing chest pain in the upper and middle areas, and my doctor said it is likely muscular. He also took a blood sample for a CBC test. I am attaching my report for review. My ESR is 22 mm/hr (normal range 0 to 20). Is this concerning?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing a fever of 100 to 102F and a dry cough for the past 3 weeks. The coughing is causing headaches and abdominal pain. My blood tests were negative for typhoid, malaria, and Widal test, but my ESR is elevated at 59 (normal range 0 to 20). I am currently taking Almont Alcare, Curin M, Oceft CF 500, and a cough syrup. Despite the medications, my fever continues to fluctuate between 100 to 102F. Please suggest what could be causing this and what should be done next.
