[|Human|] Hi, My child 4 years old was  having high feaver and cough for 5 days ,thught to be viral flu and took medication. In the blood checkup his ESR level found at 100. His temperature is normal now but still coughing occationaly and is complaining of pain under the ribcage. Could it be a symptum of   TB?
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Can understand your concerns. * Fever for 5 days with cough with chest pain can be due to upper respiratory tract infection like pharyngitis, tonsillitis, viral infection. * Tuberculosis is a chronic disease, and it does not occur in a time off just 5 days. There is history of contact with a person with tuberculosis. In tuberculosis, there is history of fever, cough for a long time.* ESR can be raised in viral infection, any kind of allergy, and it is also raised ed in tuberculosis. But in tuberculosis we need to do some more test like contour test, x-ray chest, ultrasound abdomen to confirm the diagnosis of tuberculosis.* This does not appear to be a case of tuberculosis. It is likely to be an upper respiratory tract infection like pharyngitis consulate is a viral infection. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
