Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that any swollen lymph node in neck area not responding to treatment must be suspected for tuberculosis. I advice you should do FNAC for the swollen lymph node to rule out tuberculosis. Also start the treatment for the Tuberculosis, once your report is negative than you can discontinue the treatment.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
