Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There are many causes of high ESR. Tuberculosis, infection, anemia, autoimmune disease are the common cause of high ESR. She should go for fine needle aspiration cytology of lump.  It can be due to tuberculosis.  Then she should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
