TB lymphnodes
I have 3 lymphnodes under my neck right side. I have been taking TB medicine since last 6 months ever since FNAC report said TB and still continueing the medicine. These 3 lymphnodes are almost gone.
I saw a new lymphnode couple of days ago and it’s swelling similar to other lymphnodes that swollen 6 months ago.
I am not sure if i need to change the medicine now.
Can you please help?
