Dear Doctor,I had left post auricular lymph node in Jan, 2011 and was confirmed as tuberculosis after FNAC. I was on RNTCP cat I (HRZE) from Feb till July. The post auricular node was gone. But then cluster of new cervical node shown up. Then gene expert was done and shown sensitive to drugs. And again did FNAC for cervical node and confirmed tuberculosis. Again i was put on with RNTCP cat II (HRZES) from Aug till Mar 2012. But now during the course of medication, again i noticed hard node just below my left ear lobe. I fear of the disease coming all over again. Kindly, help what should i do further to completely get cured.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. FNAC of node is essential to rule out tuberculosis2. It could be secondary to ear infection or even throat infection. Delaying diagnosis will delay further treatment and cause stress. Meet your doctor and get FNAC done. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
