A member asked:

Am on 5th month of tb lymphadenitis treatment.cervical lymph node regressed but another existing tiny node has enlarged now. what could be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cervical nodes: there is no such thing as treatment for lymphadenitis. Your nodes are reacting to something. Your doctor must find out what ( infection, cancer) 5 months of "treatment" with persistent lymphadenopathy is unacceptable and suspicious for malignancy. You need to consult ENT very soon. Will likely need biopsy.
