Hello, I can understand your problem. Persistent cough and losing weight since few months for that I will suggest you should go for sputum examination and chest X-ray along with that for your low back ache, I will advise X Ray LS spine AP Lat. and SOS MRI . You consult with physician and Orthopedician with the reports. Till now you can take tab. NICIP 100 mg twice a day and start antibiotic after physician consultation. I think this is helpful to you.
