Puss and pain in lymph node TB in neck
Hi,
I have been diagnosed with the lymph node TB in my neck.
The TB lump has swelling and has extreme pain, I am not able to move, rest, sleep properly due to the pain.
It's almost 2 inch wide and 3 inch in length and fully reddness.
I heard that puss can be removed by the lymph node Aspiration (through injection), but I am confused. Should I consult with an ENT Doctor or a General Surgeon for this ?
My TB medicines are going with the govt hospital, and the Doctor at the DOT centre saying you should leave it as it, let it come out on its own.
Please advise 🙏
