[|Human|] Hi Im 25 Years Old Female with Height: 5.1 Weight: 112.5 lbs. I have 3 lymph nodes on the left side of my neck Im taking the medication for Tuberculosis from past 8 months and I still have one month to complete the course of medication. however I could still feel the lymphnodes on my neck. Can I stop the medication after 1 months (which would be 9 months of total medication) or should I continue until the lymphnodes are gone?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I had gone through all the data you have posted. Kindly let me know how diagnosis of tuberculosis was confirmed in your case. Generally for lymph node tuberculosis we do FNAC or excision biopsy which may show granulators inflammation and AFB may be seen.  So if AFB were present at the time of diagnosis we need to repeat the biopsy from nodes to have a look again and if positive again we need to send for culture and sensitivity to rule out Chat Doctor. If initial AFB was negative and ATT was started on suspicion, we need to evaluate general status and other system involvement and rule out other causes for lymphadenopathy which can present in similar way such as ACIDOSIS etc. Hope this helps.
