Such type of long standing fever with such type of symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include.1 Tuberculosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by tuberculin test , blood for CBC , ES R and sputum examination for AFB ( if present).2 Typhoid , for confirmation get in Widal and serology test.3 Drug induced fever , if you are taking antibiotics for prolong time.However , there are so many other possibilities of such fever , as HIV , anemia , urinary tract infection .In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion ( 2nd one ).Jaundice is another such common cause of fever and weakness.But physical examination , clinical history is also important.
