It's because of the infection, ESR is high. If infection comes down ,ESR will become normal.
And if you have started azythromycin course complete it.
If not, take
Tab Amoxiclav 625mg 1-0-1*5 days after food ( don't take both the antibiotics, take either of them)
Tab pan 40 1-0-0*5 days before food
Tab citrazine 10mg 0-0-1*5 days after food.
Fever usually subsides after medications, if temperature is above 99 before taking parecatomol take dolo 650 1-0-1*3 days after food
