Brief Answer:
Dose adjustment of thyroxin is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
I have gone through your uploaded images as well.
Many of your symptoms are related to thyroid disorder.
Past history of typhoid or current treatment for asthma would not cause such symptoms.
Feverish feeling could be thyroxine induced hypermetabolism.
I advise you to get a complete thyroid profile and use the right dose as dictated by the blood hormonal levels.
Lowering the dose to 25-50 mcg can control your symptoms.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Dear Sir,
Thanks, As per your advise, I have reduced the doses from 75 mcg to 50 mcg. One more problem I forgotten to mention that my right hand wrist to palm, right thumb are paining, I did a Blood test which shows ASO Positive (RH Factor Negative) and I am taking Pentids 400 (make of Abott) since a week.
Kindly suggest me further what medicine should I take. as a little exposure to cold or wind or sleeping under the Fan leads me cough creation (not coughing) only. kindly note that I am sitting in the AC room in office with 23-24 temp.
your valuable advise is solicitated.

Brief Answer:
Wrist pain could be due to nerve strain.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
The right and and wrist pain could possibly be related to localized nerve strain secondary to excessive work like typing or writing in office.
I recommend you take tab Pregabalin 50 mg thrice a day for 1 week followed 50 mg twice a day for another week followed by 50 mg once a week for another week followed by 50 mg every alternative day for one week and finally stop the drug.
This drug has excellent activity in controlling the nerve pain.
Please note this drug should be taken under expert medical supervision.
As far as coughing is concerned,it could be allergic in origin.
Avoid all precipitating factors which bring about the coughing sensation.
You do not need any drugs for this issue as of now.
Continue Pentid as prescribed for raised ASO titers for another week.
Post your further queries if any.
