ESR 45 and above might indicate mild health conditions. ESR above 100 can indicate serious illnesses such as arthritis and polymyalgia. Consult with a doctor to know the root cause.

What does it mean if my ESR is 35?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing a fever of 100 to 102F and a dry cough for the past 3 weeks. The coughing is causing headaches and abdominal pain. My blood tests were negative for typhoid, malaria, and Widal test, but my ESR is elevated at 59 (normal range 0 to 20). I am currently taking Almont Alcare, Curin M, Oceft CF 500, and a cough syrup. Despite the medications, my fever continues to fluctuate between 100 to 102F. Please suggest what could be causing this and what should be done next.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My ESR rate is 25. The doctor said it could indicate an infection. I want to know what type of infection this might be.
