Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Unexplained cough for two months with fever and weight loss may be indicative of TB chest and needs detailed evaluation. If there is a spot on X ray, a repeat X ray may be done after a while to know any change in size. If the confusion still persists after repeat X ray then you can get a chest CT scan to confirm X ray findings.
