Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am suffering from RHEUMOTOID ARTHARITIES .At the moment I am under the treatment of Homeopathic Doctor Dr. S Patra who has advised to reduce ESR (which was reduced from 113 to 70; which has again shot up to 83) . At the same time I am pruned to acute Asthamic cough & cold. Hence please suggest me how to reduce the ESR.
I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. ESR is just a value, not the disease and this is obviously caused by rheumatoid activity. It can be lowered with anti-ifnlammatory drugs such as nosnteroid painkillers, steroids, Azatiprin or biological therapy and best solution should be discussed with rheumatologist. Till then, you can take Diclofenac and have physical therapy.
Hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us anytime.
Wish you a good health.
Kind regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
