Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. These reports suggest anemia and presence of inflammation. Hemoglobin 10 is suggestive of anemia. ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is marker of inflammation. Both are common in pneumonia. Correction of anemia through oral iron supplements is needed. This will speed up the recovery. For high ESR, anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Her total counts are normal. So infection is under control. Get done repeat chest x-ray after 2 weeks and compare with first one t know the improvement. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
