QUERY REGARDING LYMPH NODE OF NECK
I have a small size submandibular lymph node measuring 9.9mm × 6.6 mm. Is it a tuberculous lymph node or it's just a simple lymph node ? I had tuberculosis way back in the year 1999 when I was a kid and still my Mantoux test is positive. Do I have tuberculosis of lymph nodes ? I am attaching the report of neck ultrasound for your perusal and reference please.
I first noticed this lymph node in the year 2015.
Is there anything to worry ?
Is my lymph node less than 1cm ?
I was told that lymph nodes less than 1 cm are not dangerous. Is that so ?
