Sudden decrease in weight

2023-12-12 16:32:19
Hello doctors. So recently from 2-3 months I was having cough and cold. I took medicines for it. The cold went away but dry cough still exists. 2 months ago, my weight was 62.5 kg, but it's been decreasing ever since. Now it's 60 kg. What must be the reason for this? I wish to do some tests. Please recommend which test i must do. Thank you.
