Usg report is useful but not diagnostic. A FNAC(Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) will be very helpful and also tell us about the probable cause,eg tb lymphnode.since usg report suggest chronic inflammation , a diagnosis of tb cannot be ruled out,so FNAC - and CBNAAT will be helpful.
Next Steps
consult a doctor for futher management.
