2020-12-18 10:17:07
I have 3 lymphnodes under my neck right side. I have been taking TB medicine since last 6 months ever since FNAC report said TB and still continueing the medicine. These 3 lymphnodes are almost gone. I saw a new lymphnode couple of days ago and it’s swelling similar to other lymphnodes that swollen 6 months ago. I am not sure if i need to change the medicine now. Can you please help?

If new lymph nodes appearing when you are almost completing the treatment, you need to get tested again esp for drug resistant tuberculosis
