Brief Answer:
I would stop the treatment in the end of six months
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I see the reports attached and i have gone very carefully on evaluating them
The FNAC report is the biopsy of the lymphonodus which confirm the TB etiology of them
The first chest x ray result as i see (which was in the start of the treatment) showed some lung implications in the lower bilaterally bases.
The second one (after three months of treatment) is completely normal,no evidence of pathological radiologic image is seen fortunately.
This is a very good thing for you which tells us that the treatment has had a very good impact in your lungs.
As you explain its been nearly six months of treatment now.
In my opinion based in these informations if you were my patients in the end of six months i would stop the treatment.
But it is your treating doctor who will examine your general clinical condition and if everything is normal i believe that he should stop the treatment for sure.
Usually 6 months of treatment are sufficient but it depends on the case.Each patient is specific.
I am happy for you and feel free to ask me again

madam is further CT scan required...and also this is completely lymph node problem na
Brief Answer:
CT is the best choice for lymphonodes
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
CT scan is mainly for evaluating better the cervical lymphonodes not as for lungs situation.
I think this is the reason it is required from the doctors not for the lungs itself
Lungs are clear actually but for the lymphonodes the best choice is CT.
Do it and attach me the result of CT

madam is there any mediatinal lymphadenopathy chances
Brief Answer:
No i do not think there is a chance
Detailed Answer:
Hi
No i do not think so because they would be seen in the chest x ray if they will be large.
However neck CT may see the mediastinal regional lymphadenopathy if they are present and enlarged.
You can attach me the CT result and discuss again for it.
Regards
