Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Given that one of the manifestations of glandular TB is the progressive enlargement of the glands, the original size of glands before infection may not be attained so easily given the chronic inflammation that already took place.The size is however expected to reduce in the course of the treatment.Persistent minor swelling does not mean you still have the infection.However, after the treatment, a gland biopsy can still be sent for analysis before you are declared fhealed.You may see your Doctor for a confirmation of healing if not yet done.
Hope this will help
Best regards
