Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a few days and recently had a fever that went up to around 100.5F. It only lasted for a bit and went down after taking pcm. My doctor suggested a blood test and it turns out my ESR is at 40, though my hemoglobin and platelet count are normal. I'm confused and a bit worried about why my ESR is high. The doctor told me to take azithromycin for 5 days. Is there something serious going on with this high ESR?

View allI'm really worried because after my fever, I've been dealing with this abdominal pain. My doctor told me to take Seconil, but when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called Secnil instead. I'm just not sure if they're the same thing and whether it's okay to take it. Could you help me out with this?
Seconil is typically used as a tranquilizer and anti-anxiety medication. It is commonly prescribed for managing anxiety, stress, and certain psychiatric conditions. Secnil, on the other hand, is an antibiotic containing Ciprofloxacin. It is generally used to treat bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, and other types of bacterial infections.

I've been getting a fever at night after feeling cold for the past couple of days, but it seems to go away by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it? Would love to get some insight into what's going on.
You may be experiencing viral syndrome, or developing a viral fever. If your fever is high grade (above 100 degrees Fahrenheit), and associated with chills, you may need to undergo a blood test to rule out diseases like malaria and denggue. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.
