Thanks for your query...
Since your child is having intermittent cold and fever since last one month and high grade fever since last 2 days a high ESR value in your case indicates an infective pathology.It has to be seen in combination with other blood tests including total blood counts.kindly get her properly treated with antipyretics and an antibiotic course.
