Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I see that that you are having AOSD .ESR is an inflammatory marker and is raised when any kind of inflammation is present in body . Thats why it is raised . Prednisolone is the medicine for treatment of this disease .Your doctor has rightly prescribed your medicines.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
