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.

How can I reduce my blood ESR level with food?

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.

Will a fever between 98 and 99.8 be considered a fever? One of our friends has had this for 5 months and 20 days. His blood test report shows Hb 13.2 percent, RBC 5 million, WBC 10,600, platelet 2.22 lakhs, and ESR 25. Could this lead to cancer?
