hello
welcome to health care magic
thanks for your query
Increased ESR(erythrocyte sedimentation rate) indicates that there is an infection/inflammation in the body,,what ever it may be..
you have said that you are diagnosed as tonsillitis and also cervical spondylitis,,,then it is the reason for that high ESR..
for this tonsillitis consult ENT specialist for further suggestions and take antibiotics according to him/her..

you have not mentioned about serum calcium levels why because calcium levels are regulated by that vit D..that vit D is synthesized in the body from boby cholestrol with the help of sunlight...
so at early mornings around 6 am walk in the sun light and also in the evening..you may get sufficient vit D...
no need to worry about your hemoglobin level..it is slightly less..to increase the levels further eat jaggery,fresh leafy vegetables,nuts etc..then your Hb will improve..
for cervical spondylitis you have to wear soft cervical collar..
hope you understand my suggestion...
have a speed recovery
thnak you

Tonsilitis is curable with antibiotics and warm saline gargles twice a day, anti-allergics. ESR may be due to that.Take multivitamins,calcium and vit D supplements,, calcium also helps in fighting allergy.Vitamin C 500 mg daily also helps build resistance to disease and in tissue repair. Meanwhile do physio as advised along with collar and anti-inflammatory as advised

Hi,
You are 24/F, house wife, had severe neck pain 2 wks before for which X-Ray taken which showed spondylitic changes at C5 to C7, for which cervical collar and physiotherapy were advised. The physiotherapist advised certain investigations which showed the results as follows -
ESR 115 in 1 hr, Low vitamin D and HB 10.55. You had tonsillitis once. You like to know whether tonsillitis is the cause for high ESR - and what will happen if ESR is not reduced.
ESR or Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate is a measure that is traditionally used to check for inflammation in the body, where as it doesn't really state what exactly the cause of the inflammation is. For this reason, other tests need to be conducted like complete blood counts for white blood cells and lymphocytes and C-reactive protein test. ESR and CRP blood tests can generally make for a more definitive diagnosis about the presence of inflammation.
This high ESR shows that you are having infection or inflammation some where.
Now what you have to do is - find out where is the infection or inflammation. Considering the usual causes of high ESR, and as per your complaints - you need other than the blood test mentiond above
The following investigations -
1) X-Ray Chest & MX test inj. to rule out Pulmonary tuberculosis.
2) MRI cervical spine to rule out cervical involvement of TB or any other pathology
3) ENT evaluation especially for tonsils.
After this investgations - the treatment is as per the route cause which made your ESR to reach high level
Best wishes
