Your doctor might advise taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) corticosteroid therapy to reduce inflammation.

What does it mean if my ESR is 31?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I experience cough and phlegm whenever I am exposed to cold air. Even slight cold makes my body feel cool and triggers coughing and phlegm. My blood tests are all normal except for ESR, which is 52. My temperature is 96.5F, and I do not have fever, runny nose, or sneezing. Can someone help me understand what might be causing this?
