Usually anti tubercular treatment is very effective and it is unlikely that you have resistant lymph node tuberculosis. In any case you can undergo ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology to confirm the diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
