Hello. Nodule in the thyroid gland with TFT showing hyperfunction suggestive of thyrotoxicosis.. This can usully cause symptoms like palpitations, increased sweating and also intolerance to heat with wt loss.... In your case cause of low grade fever is likely this abnormal function of thyroid...
For confirmation of hot nodule u need to Tc uptake scan of thyroid....if it turns out MNG with toxicosis on Tc uptake scan we can decide between surgery vs antithyroid drugs...
If it turns out AFTN (Autonomous functioning thyroid gland) u may benefit from Radioactive iodine therapy for permanent cure..
