hello ... i understood your question...
the reason for increase in esr is due to infections or any autoimmune diseases... here doctor diagnosed your pneumonia. still you are having higher esr so he would like to further investigate you weather you are having any other indolent infection.....
its not soo problematic so you dont need to worry about it. you will get cured with proper diagnosis an proper treatment for you disease.. hoping you to recover soon....
