Answer
Hi Khurram,
That is called a low grade fever. Often it means nothing as fever normally goes up in the afternoon. Not knowing what blood tests you had, I can't advise you as to what else needs to be done. The ESR is a non-specific test that shows an inflammatory condition in the body. It is used primarily to FOLLOW a disease rather than to DIAGNOSE one.
