Hi
ESR is a nonspecific test a and if it is high we should look into some conditions if there is a clinical indication and discuss with your doctor. As your child is having high fever paracetamol in prescribed dosage and tepid sponging and routine investigations like MP,CUE to be done after consulting your doctor. Any focus of infection should be examined and treated accordingly so consult your doctor.
