Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

ESR is non specific marker of inflammation it can raise because of any inflammation.

I advice you should search the cause of high ESR. Because it can be raise is TB also. But before we come for action of the diagnosis treatment becomes vague. Once the confirm diagnosis is known treatment for the cause is the treatment of the high ESR.

Ultimately healthy diet like fruits and vegetables daily exercise can decrease the disease and ESR.

Hygienic living is also a key of yours to decrease the ESR.

I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
