Lymph node TB

2019-07-28 19:29:37
I have got swelling in lymph node. After biopsy, doctor told me that I have Lymph node TB. I have been taking AKT-4 medicine since last 1 week but neither the swelling not the pain is decreasing. Rather I feel that the swelling has increased. Is it a common thing that happens during treatment? Also, in how much time can I expect the swelling to start reducing? Thanks

LN TB will take time to heal. If there occurs some exudation then it need to be operated also. Keep consulting your doctor and keep observation.
