Hello I have studied your case. There is possibility of tuberculosis considering your reports may need to investigate in form of complete blood count, ESR, CRP, DNA-PCR. You may need clinical examination also to confirm diagnosis. Till time, you can start medication and antibiotic consulting your treating doctor after confirming diagnosis. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
