Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have rise in ESR levels around 110 which could be due to chronic inflammation in body. It indicates level of infection in body, once infection will be subsided it will come back to normal. Certain pathological conditions such as anemia, polycythemia, tuberculosis and autoimmune disease could be the cause for raised this. In your case it seems to be due to iron deficiency anemia. I would suggest you to take diet rich in iron. Get blood tests redone after every one month. Visit general physician once and get reports examined. Take carrot juice, spinach. Drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
