You should only be concerned about your weight, your appetite and your fever. Disappearance of swellings and nodes will take a long time. After all Tuberculosis treatment is atleast 6 months.
Next Steps
You will need consultation with a General Physician periodically. Please consult a General Physician on Practo.
