Lymph Node swelled.
I am under akt4 treatment. I am TBM patient.( brain and spine Tb) Now , I am better after 1 yr 2 month treatment. Currently, i am having weight 59kg.( it's my normal weight before treatment)
As per doctor guide, my treatment duration should be 2 yrs approx. 21st Jan I took appointment with Doctor for lymph node swelled and we aspiratied fluid for lab test.
Mtb detected , rifampicin sensitive. Now lymph node again swelled even though I am under medicine. This time , As per my local doctor there is no fluid inside swelled area.
Till now we don't have any evidence that will tell medicine are resistant.
Dr is suggesting that we will start 2nd line treatment. Even though all are sensitive to 1st line.
Plz need guidance.
Currently I don't have any problems, weight is normal. No fever, no sweat. Only lymph node enlargement in throat right side.
