Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has definitely high esr. However her esr is only slightly high. There are many causes of high esr. Tuberculosis, infection, anemia, autoimmune disease, are common causes of high esr. If she don't have any symptoms then no need to worry. Just repeat the esr after 15 days. If she have any symptoms then investigate accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
