Very clearly you have tuberculosis of cervical lymph nodes and appropriate treatment is already started. Usually within a month of surgery swelling will gradually subside and surgery is rarely necessary in such cases. Surgery is very risky too and usually such swelling will be adherent to many important structures. You need to continue the treatment
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
