Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
I suppose you should get a proper evaluation done.
It is not like that every chronic fever is due to tuberculosis only.
Give me detailed history and get following investigations:
1. Hemogram with ESR
2. LFT / KFT
3. Chest Xray
4. Urine R/M and C/S
5. Sputum for AFB.

Montoux test has no significance even if it is positive.

If you have all these investigations, give me detailed history and attach the reports.

This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.

Stay Healthy.
