What causes rash and swelling on legs of an infant?
Patient: my son is 19months old and for the past few days he developed a rash and his left leg become a bit swolen and he found it diffcult to walk. We took him to the doctors and they performed a blood test and the result showed that his esr levels was a bit high. what could this mean? Doctor: Hi... by what you say this could be an allergy or angioedema. in both these conditions ESR elevated.You need not worry about the raised ESR if the kid days otherwise active and playful and feeding well.Regards - Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
