What Causes Low Grade Fever And Lumps On The Collarbone?
Sir I am having low grade fever since 5 months. Doctor did all blood tests like typhoid malaria etc but did not find anything. He also did x ray but did not find anything. After that he did mantaux test for Tb which was positive. After that he did Tb platinum test and that was negative. He also did blood culture test and it was also negative . After that He started antibiotics but it did not help. After that he finally started Tb treatment . I have taken 15 days dose till now and I find that there are two lumps near my collar bone and have pain when touched or pressed. I wanted to know is it really Tb or something else. I have also lost weight
