Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
I can understand the problems your mother is suffering.
As per the details given in the question she might be suffering from Tuberculosis.
Evening rise of temperature, raised ESR, low Hemoglobin, loss of appetite and the fact that she is having asthma are highly suggestive of TB.
Chest Xray and the sputum analysis should be done to confirm the diagnosis and she should be treated accordingly.
Regards!
