Hi,
You have tuberculosis which leads to fever and weight loss. But despite of taking treatment for many months you have same problem s.it means the drugs are not working. go to yhe doctor and if needed go for culture sensitivity test for tuberculosis. because you may have drug resistance. so 2nd line or 3rd line drugs may be required. or you may have some other problems whuch leads to weight loss and fever.go to consult and look for that.
Thanks for using health care magic.
