Suggest medication for cervical lymph node swelling
Patient: I am under Tbc treatment for about 8 months..during my 6th month i had cervical lymph node swelling and it was suspected to be a lymphoma..but after a sectional biopsy it was confirmed to be a healing Tbc in lymph node with absence of mycobacterium bacteria. Although the swelling was decreased considerably, it is showing an on and off symptom of increasing lymph node swelling at the same place.my lungs have almost proved to be clear in my last xray diagnosis. I am still under tbc treatment..does it mean that it is turning into a non resistant tbc..should i worry about it ? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicLymph nodes are part of the immune system and respond to the presence of inflammation/infection in the area.It can take 4 to 6 weeks after an infection has resolved for a lymph node to decrease in size.This means that the node may decrease in size so you can monitor for now.I hope this helps
