Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem I will like to tell you that ESR is very non specific marker , it can be raised either due to activity of sjogrens syndrome or by the infection possibly that has lead to fever . If she is on some drugs like steroids for immunosupression the chances of infection increases . Swelling on her face may be due to parotid gland enlargement that occurs as a part of sjogrens syndrome .
I will advise you to get her checked for ruling out infection that is giving rise to high grade fever . All autoimmune disease may undergo a flare when there is any kind of infection so treating the infection will be the best option to control the disease.
Take care.
