Tuberculosis
I diagnosed with TB almost a year ago (6 /05/2022)
Doctor said this is lymph nodes tb both side of my neck
I am Taking medicine regularly as doctor advised.
There is only few days left of the course but my swollen lymph is still visible when I touched with my hand on the both side
Last time ( 3 month ago) I said same to my doctor then doctor said take medicine till last March.
I'm afraid that is it ok or not
Is swollen lymph nodes ok? And am I going to diagnose negative after March?

Hello ,
I understand your concern .Tb medicine are safe even if extended. We need to know if it's really needed or not. Get usg neck done and compare it with old usg reports. Consult Pulmonologist once done.
