Thanks for your query at HCM!
According to me you are possibly suffering from tuberculosis.
You need to confirm it by culture & sensitivity of sputum and X-ray. You might need contrast enhanced CT to establish the diagnosis. IF positive you will require treatment with ATT for 6 months. You will recover from illness.
If it is negative for TB you will need investigations to rule out malignancy, auto-immune disease, etc.
Visit a physician for examination & investigations.
Take care!
