I posted the other day saying I have to a have a biopsy on lymph gland in september because my blood test results showed a "slight inflammation"

Yesterday I started to get a sore throat and it has gotten worse today!
Could this be what was causing my blood results to be slightly inflamed? xxx

It's possible, as any sort of infection in our bodies will cause an immune response, so something as simple as a cold or a sore throat will make our antibodies swing into action.

Most definatley, Even a pimple can cause inflammation indicators to be slightly elevated. Best wishes x

I think if the inflammation markers have to be very high to cause concern. The normal I think 1-4, then 5-10 is slighty raised. The serious problems are usually in the 100s.
