Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Constant coughing and fever are the symptoms of tuberculosis. ALT level is high, so it suggest some liver disease also. You should go for complete liver function test, ultrasound abdomen and x ray chest. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
