A member asked:
Swollen lymph nodes that are swollen from tuberculosis. would they be soft or hard? abd would they hurt or not? i've had then for 2 yrs

Maybe not TB: If you have been treated appropriately for tuberculosis and still have significantly enlarged lymph nodes they would be soft and non-tender. If they are hard to stony they should be examined again, and perhaps biopsied. Would help to know whether there are other symptoms.

Should resolve: With treatment. Check with your TB expert.
