Alk phosphate is usually on higher side in children's and also its value range is different in different labs. So, please attach reports to suggest you best. Although if it comes higher then it indicates some disturbance in liver or Gall bladder functions.
High esr indicates any Inflammation or infection in the body.
Next Steps
Advised to repeat alk phosphorus and esr from some other lab to cross-check the values before starting any treatment.
