Could Recurring Throat Infection And Constant Headache Be Due To High ESR Level?
I had repeated tonsil infection, and I took antibiotics two times and now it is clear. I did some blood test and found out that my ESR Is high 75, and ANA is 35. Everything else is ok in the blood test. I have constant headache and Steffens in neck. I m a 35 female.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic
I went through the history you are having recurring throat infection with constant headache. The increased levels of ESR and ANA indicate chronic infection.
This needs to be treated by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your ENT doctor for examination and prescription of drugs.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Hope this is helpful yo you.
Thank you
