Hi there,
welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern. As you are a dental student, you would know that ESR is only prognostic test which denotes infection. It is not diagnostic. I suspect allergy in your case. Get in touch with an immunologist who can examine you and suggest a complete lab work up with therapy.
As a doctor, I would also like to emphasize the importance of universal standard precautions each doctor has to follow while dealing with patients. Please follow them and you getting infection from them is reduced.
Thanks.
