Suggestive Test
Am 26 years old and have a persistent coughing for the last three months. My ESR last month was 82 mm/hr and have occassional fever too ( arround 101-102 ' C) which has now been persistent for couple of days. I am feeling extreme weakness and have undergone weight loss of around 3 -5 Kgs. I am unable to understand as to what all test I should undergo and its suggestive of anything serious.

Hi,
I understand your concern regarding your symptoms. Persistent cough with fever and weight loss may suggest an infectious cause. Initial diagnostic tests may include chest xray and blood tests. Direct clinical examination may need to be done also. Management will depend on the underlying cause. Take care and do keep us posted.
