Scan shows well defined lesion of infiltrates rt middle lobe as well as old fibrovascular cavity lt mid zone with fres infections. Theses findings with long standing h/o cough and fever suggests pul tb. The only point is you said high grade fever for 2to3 months which is unlikely as pt must be dehydrated toxic and serious so monitor the temp and other investigations like cbc esr widal and dengue profile and so also cbnaat hrct etc. And than specific treatment till than iv fluids with broadspectrum antibiotics.
