I've got an ESR level of 26 mm and my white blood cell count is 11,400, which I heard is 400 more than normal. I've also been battling acne, hair fall, and dandruff lately. Plus, my wisdom tooth's gum is a bit swollen. Could this swelling be causing my high ESR? I'm really concerned about all these symptoms.

Wisdom tooth gum swelling and a potential gum infection could contribute to your elevated ESR and WBC count. Its important to address the gum issue with a dentist and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation of your blood results and other symptoms.
