Lymphoma symptoms
1 year ago on May 2022 my husband was detected mediastinal lymph node tb by ebus Fnac in Apollo hospital. After 7 month of medicine we did CECT the size was regressed from conglomerated 7cm to one was 1.2cm and other was 1.5cm doctor advised to take medicine for 2 more months and then we finished 9 months course. Now he is doing well no fever no weight loose no loss of appetite. He is professor he is taking classes. But only problem of which I'm worried is he sometimes occasionally cough like 8 to 10 times daily mostly at evening and night after gap of half an hour or 1hour. It is like happening since he affected tb. Previously due the mediastinal lymph node he can't even talk because of cough and airway compression. Now everything resolved but sometimes occasionally cough. Is it post tb effect? His pft test report was restrive spirometery significant liability noted in small airways But sometimes I am in fear of lymphoma leading from tb. But i can't do CECT everytime. hs a non smoker
Hi
Iam Thejeswar. Iam Medical and Hematooncologist. Happy to see that your husband TB responded well with treatment. Reason for cough looking like post TB sequence. Restricted lung needs to be treated. Do spirometry and chest physiotherapy. He will definitely see the difference.
In lymphoma Lymphnode will not regress instead progress on ATT.

Thanks for the detailed history you gave .
No lymphoma is not known to arise from TB . So of the anti tb drugs are known to cause changes in your lung including pulmonary fibrosis , which can cause symptoms like cough and shortness of breath .
As a preliminary screening we could consider doing chest X ray and treat him according to the symptoms he is having .
If not relived , may have to consider repeating other imaging tests .
