My father has been sick for 5 days now. He has a consistent fever ranging from 99- 102 F. His X ray report is normal and blood report shows ESR raised to 56 with normal values being 0-15. The doctor we consulted gave a medicine kefpod (glenmark labs) saying its a bacterial infection. However the complications still persist. His appetite also has reduced leading to weight loss. Please help me with a proper reply and also recommend a tonic for appetite and weight gain.

Yes, high esr is suggestive of inflammation. Give cap cobadex z once daily after food for 15 days and get his random blood sugar and thyroid profile done and revert.
