Hello,
You are having fever complaint as per mentioned history. So viral infection can be there that can lead to high ESR.
The ESR can be raised due to any inflammation or infection.
After your fever subside than you again need to repeat ESR.
With the resolution of inflammation, ESR can be decreased. If still high investigate with ANA estimation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
