Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM.I understand your concern.ASO titre of 350 is quite high.In adults normal levels are less than 200 units.
If it is above 200,it is significant.It means there is active infection of streptococci in your body.
So you need to take appropriate pencillin group of antibiotics as soon as possible for preventing further complications after consulting your treating doctor.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
