Hello
Esr is a non specific finding..
High Esr may be due any infection like cold fever etc.Hb 11.3 is not that low..In India may have have this value. mch is also near okay..
Take Iron tablets if you are worried about HB value .
Next Steps
Do repeat CBNAAT now.
sputum examination.
X-ray if possible
