Hello,
Welcom to
Healthcaremagic.com.
Your signs and symptoms suggest the respiratory tract infection.
X Ray suggest some lesion which can PTB or not. You need to do a sputum test for further evaluation.

You must also consult a pulmonologist for further evaluation. Your symptoms are suggestive of PTB but clinical symptoms seems otherwise.

Hope you will be healthy soon.
Regards
