Fine needle aspiration cytology of the lymph node will confirm the diagnosis if there is lymph node tuberculosis. It may or may not be associated with lung tuberculosis. You may need to get chest x ray once fine needle aspiration cytology report comes
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
