General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi there! As to Dolo 650 ,yes you need to take 2 to 3 tablets a day to keep fever away and even that may b insufficient sometimes.
your Lymphadenopathy certainly needs to be addressed.
It could be caused by a long standing infection like Tuberculosis especially if you're from a developing country or more serious cause like Connective tissue disorder or something else about which I'm not going to scare you. Sooner you find a cause the better. CT scan is advisable and once done you'll need to undergo a needle aspiration and study or a lymph node resection and biopsy. You MUST NOT IGNORE THIS! Let's not jump to conclusions till you get the tests done.
ESR being high could happen from a lot of conditions. White Cell morphology matters not just the number.
Hope this was helpful.
