My father has been suffering from fever since 26 February. Medication was started, which I mentioned above, but there is no relief. Then I consulted a pulmonary doctor who told me it is an infection after seeing the X ray. One more thing, the blood test report is normal except hemoglobin, which is 11. No typhoid or malaria was diagnosed. What should I do? Kindly guide me.

Chronic low grade fever without diagnosis requires a detailed evaluation. Please take a TB Gold test, chest CT scan, and repeat CBC to rule out latent infections like TB or inflammatory disease.

I am a TB patient having fluid in my lungs and pain in the chest due to the fluid. Some fluid was removed previously by a doctor and checked in the lab which confirmed TB.

I have been suffering from fever for the past month and there is a tumour-like swelling around my neck area. A doctor advised me to go for a USG-guided biopsy. In my report, it says features are suggestive of granulomatous lymphadenitis. No evidence of malignancy is noticed. What does it mean?
