Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since you have't mentioned complete history of illness .
Only treated for malaria and typhoid fever .
In my opinion get in blood for E S R ( although some physician call it as non-specific but I believe that if E S R very high means chronic severe infection present).
In you case get in an X ray of chest and you will find the reason of low grade evening rise of temperature.
So consult a physician and get his opinion and treatment .
Good luck.
