Brief Answer:
You have symptoms of tuberculosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You have symptoms of tuberculosis. You should search the site or location of tuberculosis. You should go for x ray chest and sputum examination. Your fnac doesn't support tuberculosis but if you don't find other foci, then you should go for biopsy. You may have tuberculosis. Go for further investigation and then take treatment accordingly.
