General Surgeon,  's  Response
Respected User, hi sorry to hear about your Angel`s issue.
*Morning fever for 1 month requires more intensive work up apart from
Chest X-ray and Tuberculin test.
*X-ray is not indicating Tuberculosis, fever is morning again not correlating
with Tuberculosis, tuberculin test 11 mm is not confirmatory for TB.
*I will suggest further evaluations in details for Pyrexia of Unknown origin to
get to 100% diagnosis of the kid & treat accordingly only
Hope this clears your query.
Thanks for using Health Care magic & reviewing my answer with patience.
Wishing your kid a fast and speedy recovery from the same.
Regards.
