Lymph nodes are everywhere in the body- some located just underneath the skin while some are deeply placed inside the abdomen, chest etc. TB may affect lymph nodes at any site.
Treatment of tubercular lymphadenitis is a very complex one considering multiple medicines needed and their individual side effects . It is done by Medicine specialist or Respiratory medicine specialist depending on clinical features, FNAC reports etc.
Next Steps
You may consult me online at Practo if you have such patient to treat.
