    As you probably know, ESR is an indicator for inflammation. Once the inflammation is under control the ESR level should resolve. It is a symptom not an illness in itself. It is for your doctor to identify the cause and there are many.

    Good reply from BettyE - who told you your ESR level was raised?  If it was your doctor did they not put a treatment plan into action to resolve the inflammation or determine what was causing it?  Self diagnosis and treatment is not the best route.  See your general practitioner and they should be able to prescribe treatment (anti inflamms, antibiotics, etc)

    This is not the place to ask this question, as others have said, go ask your doctor, they are the experts
