Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My 20-year-old son is complaining of a low backache. He has fatigue and low-grade fever. Hemoglobin is 12.7 but ESR level is 43.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
A low backache in children at this age associated with low-grade fever and ESR 43 could be due to: Trauma (check for any trauma symptoms like blood, blue-purple changes of the skin), Kidney infection. Get urine analysis done. You may take a urine test strip at your local drug store (urine dipstick test) to find out quickly if he is going through a kidney infection. This is particularly true if he is not circumcised. Abdominal and urological ultrasound is highly recommended. Discuss this with his caring doctor. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.
