I'm experiencing these persistent hiccups that started yesterday and just won't go away. I've been drinking plenty of water and even tried some home remedies, but they only seem to work for a bit before the hiccups come back. Can you help figure out what's causing this and suggest what I should do next?

I'm a 40-year-old woman, and last week I had a viral fever. I had a CBC blood test afterward, and my ESR level is 36. I've also been experiencing frequent headaches. Could this be related to my ESR level being higher? Are there any specific foods or diets I could follow to help reduce the ESR level?

Elevated ESR can be a non-specific indicator of inflammation in the body, which could be due to various reasons including infections, autoimmune diseases, and other inflammatory conditions. In your case, the viral fever you had could have contributed to the elevated ESR level. However, it is important to investigate further to determine the exact cause of the elevated ESR and your persistent headaches. To help reduce inflammation in the body and potentially lower ESR levels, you can consider incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into your diet. These include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fatty fish like salmon), fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants (such as berries, spinach, and kale), nuts and seeds, and whole grains. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight, staying hydrated, and avoiding processed foods and excessive sugar intake can also help in reducing inflammation. For your persistent headaches, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I've had a mild fever for the past three days and even after seeing a doctor and taking the tablets they prescribed, Im still feeling the same. Along with the fever, I'm also really tired and feel cold all the time. What should I do? Is there something else I might be missing?

most cases of viral fever in adults are not too dangerous and can go away on their own within 5-7 days, up to 10 days, if handled and cared for well
