What Does ESR Rate Of 80 And Enlarged Spleen In Infants Indicate?

My baby was born with asd and vsd. At 12 weeks he was hospitalised with bronchilitis. At 7 months he had parainfluenza 3. His liver and spleen were enlarged and had esr of 110. He is better now but these tests were done as he was getting better. 3 weeks after the tests were repeated his esr is 80 and his spleen is still enlarged. Should we be worried as he just doesnt seem right?

Hi...ESR can take longer time to settle and so do not worry about it. Spleen enlargement also can take longer time to regress during recurrent viral illness like this. But I do not understand what you mean by - he just doesnt seem right?

Please clarify and get back.
