ESR CAN BE HIGH WHEN YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM ACUTE INFECTION AND ALLERGIES
YOU TAKE 3 WEEK COURSE AND THEN GET THE TESTS REPEATED
TAKE OFLOX 200 MGM BD FOR 3 DAYS
TAKE MONTAIR FX TWICE A DAY
SYP TOSSEX 1/2 TSF BD
SYP MUCAINE GEL 2 TSF TDS
TAKE DICLOFENIC SOS FOR PAIN
HYDROTHERAPY
AFTER 3 WEEK GET YOUR TESTS REPEATYED AND THEY WILL BE NORMAL
