Could ESR of 65 indicate TB with persistent cough?
A persistent cough lasting several months can have various causes, ranging from infections to allergies. An elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) indicates inflammation in the body but does not specifically point to tuberculosis (TB). Common symptoms of TB include prolonged cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. It’s essential to consult a pulmonologist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized care. Tests may be needed to determine the root cause of your symptoms.

Is my cough with sputum and drinking normal?
It's understandable to be concerned about your symptoms. Coughing with sputum can indicate a respiratory infection or irritation, often linked to smoking. The presence of sputum is normal; however, it’s wise to monitor its color and consistency. Persistent issues warrant a consultation with a pulmonologist for proper evaluation. Quitting smoking would greatly enhance your lung health and reduce symptoms. Staying hydrated and considering over-the-counter remedies may help alleviate discomfort.

Worsening Throat Pressure and Cough After Recent Illness
A throat infection could be causing your breathing issues. Swollen glands create pressure in the throat, and coughing helps clear germs. Drinking warm water, resting, and gargling with salt water can relieve discomfort. If symptoms persist, see a pulmonologist.
