Hello, Vyjayanthi! How are you doing?
This person really needs to be seen by a doctor again and have more medical work ups done to get to the root of the problem.
There are things other than infections that can cause elevation of ESR and CPR. They are commonly elevated in people with some forms of arthritis.
Is there anything else I can help with?
