Hi. I understand your concern s. Hopefully a diagnosis was based on either histopathology or fnac AFB smear and cultures. Sometimes during treatment nodesay be enlarged that is ok unless you do not have other symptoms like fever etc. If it is susceptible TB and first episode then 6months treatment is enough though close follow up is necessary.
