On High BP medication for last five year and on aspirin 75 mg for the last five months.

Hello Since you are having fever low grade for last 10 days .
Not responding to ordinary treatment .
In the last 30 years suffered with Koch's twice .
Took treatment , cured .
Also taking medicine for high BP .
I have seen so many cases ( with old tubercular lesion ) where cavity get infection and low grade fever developed , so in your case this low grade fever may be due to FRESH TUBERCULAR LESION so get in X ray chest , sputum for AFB , CBC .
So consult a chest& tuberculosis specialist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
