All types of junk food containing unhealthy oils which increase inflammations should be avoided to control ESR levels. Instead, foods such as fruits and cooking oil such as olive oil should be used to lower ESR levels.

My blood report for an insurance policy showed high ESR. The policy is on hold. I am not concerned about the policy, but what should be done next on a personal health front?

I am 25 year old female.my Esr level reaches 50. Is it normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing cough and cold for 4 days, with a mild fever between 99 and 100.5F over the last two days, which subsided after taking PCM. Today, as advised by my doctor, I had a blood test. The results show ESR 40, while hemoglobin and platelet count are normal. I am confused about why my ESR is high. My doctor prescribed Azithromycin for 5 days. Is there any serious problem associated with this high ESR?
