Chronic cough,Fever, Weight loss, Weakne
My father of age 41 years has been suffering from frequent cough,fever, weight loss and weakness for more than 6 months. He consumes tobacco products and cigarettes. He coughs so often at noon night time. He has lost much weight. 4 months before he was diagnosed with typhoid and from that time he has been suffering with fever. He's looking so weak and lean. Unable to work well. He has been using paracetamol tablets and other antibiotics but there is no use.
Please give a good suggestion.
