I've been dealing with a cough and cold for over two weeks now. My GP advised me to check my blood, and it turns out my ESR is 30 and AEC is 480. He told me to take Diethylcarbamazine and Chlorphenaramine. Is it safe to take these medications along with my current thyroid medication, Atorvastatin, and Fefol? I'm just a bit nervous about mixing them all.

Last week, I took cold showers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I'm not sure if that's why I'm feeling this way or if there's another reason. Could you please advise?

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?
It's indicates infection... Continue with antibiotic course
