Hello
How are you?
Thanks for contacting Healthcare Magic.

ESR ia a one type of test result. It is not a disease result or final diagnosis of a particular disease.
Your doctor has advised you properly about montox test. False positive results are more due to various reasons.
Same elevated ESR is also anon specific result. It may be raise in many simple infections and other conditions.
You have no any sign and symptoms suggesting of TB so ignore the raised result of ESR.
ESR helps and support in diagnosing several disease conditions along with clinical signs.
So don't afraid of the ESR test result and take care.
I find this answer helpful
