A member asked:
Could you tell me what is the treatment for high esr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find the cause: Don't treat a lab value. And the ESR is not a precise test, it's fraught with technical errors, and high values are common in people who seem not to be sick at all. At most, it's used as one piece of information out of many in making diagnoses of relatively obscure illnesses. Eat sensibly, stay fit, and stop worrying about numbers.
