Hello

I read your question and i ould like to help you.
High values of ESR indicates an inflammatory situation of your body.Antibiotic use usually after the treatment the ESR low down till in the normal values.If it does not normalise despite the right medication it is necessary to do some other blood tests to see if there is an autoimmune diseases or other cause that not allow the ESR to normalise.For example:
ANA,ANCA,RF, CEA,Hole blood count,CRP,Ca 125.
So my opinion is better to consult a GP after all.
Thank you
I wish you good health
