Before starting medicine his ESR was 80 . after This course his ESR was 78 then gradually 24. Now again he has ESR 40 and fever has started again . All his reports are normal like WIDAL and M.p are negative ,TLC , DLc and platelets counts are accurate.His Hb is 9.9 please suggest what should I do? He had splenomegaly when ultrasound was done before starting antibiocs.
