Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. ESR will take longer to come down.
2. C-reactive protein or CRP is more of an immediate marker for inflammation. Get a CRP done to identify the level of inflammation.
3. Try salt water gargling along with lozenges to soothe throat.
4. ESR will take another month to get back to normal. Associated anemia and dehydration needs to be looked into and corrected.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
