Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your question.
Based on your history above and my experience you most likely have an infected lymph node.
I usually do culture and sensitivity so that I can know which microbes are causing the infection in lymph node.
As you wait for FNA I would recommend you start on intravenous antibiotics ceftriaxone one gram once day for 3 days plus tabs azithromycin and pain killer like paracetamol. My patients with similar complains do well on these antibiotics.
You can continue with prednisolone as prescribed. I would also recommend other virological tests, random blood sugar and blood pressure to be checked.
Hope I answered your question, will be happy to help you if you have other queries.
Wishing you speedy recovery.
Regards,


The above antibiotics will help you
