Usually confirmation of TB lymphadenitis is made by various techniques such as FNAC, biopsy, GeneExpert or MTB PCR, only after confirmation treatment is started. Lymph nodes will reduce in size within few months of treatment. Complete treatment schedule needs to be completed anyway. There is no need to go for any tests within few months of starting treatment

Next Steps

Consult nearby pulmonologist for more information about the procedures to diagnose TB lymphadenitis
