I would start of by consulting a hematologist as consistently high ASO titre can indicate rheumatoid arthritis.
A single titre value of above 200 iu ml is considered raised
An ASO titer of 260 is considered high and may indicate a recent streptococcal infection. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management.
A low ASO titer may indicate a absence of a recent or current streptococcal infection. It may also be within the normal range for individuals who have not been recently exposed to streptococcal bacteria.
titre is usually higher in old age.
my age is above 30 and i'm suffering in high aso titer and shootingly pain in ain all my big and small joints and i feel pain in my heart
PENICILLIN INJ IS THE BEST TREATMENT FOR {Group A}

yes
No it is not. It is rather high. It may indicate recent streptococcal throat infect, erysepelas, Rhematic heart disease (rare nowadays) or post stretococcal acuteglomerulonephritis. Check with your doctor.
ASO (Anti-streptolysin O) titers are raised in conditions such as streptococcal infections, rheumatic fever, and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. These conditions are typically associated with an immune response to Group A Streptococcus bacteria.
When the body is infected with the bacteria streptococci, it produces antibodies to combat the various antigens that the streptococci will produce. One such antibody is the anti-streptolysin O or ASO to attack the antigen streptolysin O whose main purpose is to break open the red blood cells to cause hemolysis. The ASO titer test can determine a raised or rising level of ASO which can indicate a past or present infection, and a normal level value is around 200 units. When ASO levels are high, chances are the individual is infected with streptococcus which is signaled by a soar throat leading to more serious conditions such as rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, and disorder of the kidneys. Steps to take to prevent streptococci infections are; avoid people with soar throats or known to have strep throats, wash hands frequently after using items which may harbor the bacteria, don't share food or drinks with a sick individual.
