Thanks for your query.
I think you have a chronic infection likely to be tuberculosis. You can get sputum examination for ZN STAINING and culture sensitivity test for mycobacterium done. If all test are negative. You can get tested by high resolution CT Scan to look for lymph nodes. Some times treatment for tuberculosis must be started on high clinical suspicion. Take adequate rest and eat protein rich balanced diet with multivitamins and calcium supplements.
Take care
