Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Increase ESR and Elisa test for T.B is non specific and anti tubercular treatment can't be started based on this report.
You need proper clinical examination and investigations.
You need routine hemogram,Chest X-ray (PA view),mantoux test,sputum examination.PCR test can be done if needed.
You should consult your physician.Cough and fever may be due to pneumonia.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
