Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have high ESR levels around 90 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. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take diet rich in iron. Get blood tests done after every one month. Visit general physician once and get reports examined. Take carrot juice, spinach. Drink plenty of water. You should start treatment after thorough examination and complete prescription.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
