Dear sir/Madam
Thanks for your query.
There are many possibilities in your case.
1. A fluid in lung can occur due to heart failure, low hemoglobin or TB in this case.
2. All these 3 pathologies can cause loss generalized well being, pallor and listlessness.
3. His blood sugar control is also not good.
4. I would recommend you to consult a good internist and a cardiologist.
