Sir, I had been suffering from joint pains and body swelling. After taking medication, my joint pains have been cured. However, there is still swelling in my hands and foot fingers, along with cough and bitter taste in the mouth. According to my blood report, S. Uric acid is 7.1, Rheumatoid factor is negative, and ASO titer is positive.

ASO positive may indicate post strep inflammation. Uric acid slightly raised. Monitor and review with rheumatologist if symptoms persist.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test
