Lymph node infection and abscess form

2017-10-27 13:08:01
Lymph nodes get infected as per doctor suggestions, first and second time it swells and form huge hard lump and later it transfer into formation of abscess, later two teams it was cut n drained out . One was behind ear and other time below neck. Now it's happened again but after two courses of antibiotics it didn't cure , but now it's not looking like formation of abscess but from many days I meant nearly 20 days it's still hard lump . So doctor is also not able to predict why and what it is, any suggestions kindly reply to solve this situation bcoz with a span of 3 to 4 months frequently happening and my daughter is suffering. Kindly suggest remedy for this.

Recurrent lymph node enlargement not responding to good antibiotics and formation of recurrent abscess may be tubercular lymphadenitis. Your daughter needs to undergo tests for tuberculosis such as mauntox test, fine needle aspiration cytology, sputum examination etc
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist or Paediatric specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
