Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is marker of infection and inflammation.
So possibility of infection is more in your case because of high ESR.
You are also having cough, fever and back pain.
All these favour possibility of lung Infection (pneumonia) more.. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray.
Chest x ray is must for the diagnosis of lung Infection. You may need antibiotics, antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
Once your infection is controlled, your symptoms will go away and ESR will also come to normal.
So get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
