Get done biopsy from cervical lymphnode.

Detailed Answer:

I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the reports you have attached.

2. Aspiration of pleural effusion.
Please let me know if these reports are done.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Dr Bhavsar - I was not satisfied by your response on icliniq so I paid 500 again here to find another specialist to answer my questions in a more informed way. I don't believe that a pathologist is smarter than a doctor. I am looking for a XXXXXXX medical practionner who has 20 plus years practical experience who can guide on the basis of symptoms, Xray and scans and not keep on asking for biopsy.

If you don't want to go for biopsy then empirical anti tubercular drugs should be started.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be looking into your case. Wish you good health. Thanks.
