hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Since you had fever and i guess you got treated that can be the reason of having a low body temp due to antipyretic medicines.The increase in WBC count shows there is some active infection going on inside your body please see if you have any other symptoms like cough;loose motions increased frequency of urine;vomiting.As for the weight loss it can happen in fever but is more likely in Tuberculosis;typhoid so get investigated like Widal for typhoid;ESR;CRP also X-ray chest & Mantoux test & treated by a physician.It is necessary to find the cause & get treated .
Thanks
