[|Human|] I Had fever and my stomach was also upset so i went to a doctor on 7th April. He asked me for the cbc test. All medical test normal except ESR. ESR is high (40). He has given me one medicine neksium which I need to take before breakfast and one syrup mucaine for 5 days. I am only eating light food. I am feeling very week now. Tell me what to eat which helps to reduse ESR and are these medicines good?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. ESR is elevated in chronic infections and inflammation like tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, bronchiectasis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple myeloma, etc. Thus, ESR is not a disease, but it indicates underlying disease. Treatment of the underlying disease reduces the ESR slowly over a period of time. There is no diet plan to reduce ESR levels. Consult your physician for clinical assessment and to find out the cause of elevated ESR. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
