I've been feeling warm lately but don't have a fever. I checked my temperature three times, and it has been between 98 and 98.6 degrees. My throat feels a bit irritated, but there's no coughing. What should I do about this?

Given your symptoms of feeling warm without a fever, throat irritation, and no cough, consider the following steps: stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat, and rest to help your body recover; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a general physician for a proper evaluation and guidance, as it's possible you may be experiencing early signs of a viral or bacterial infection.

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.
