I am suffering from tuberculosis. After taking 6 month of medicine I developed tuberculosis lymphadenitis. Then I took on 5 drug of 1st line with streptomycin for 2 month since I had tb in 2008 in abdominal. I am taking medicine from 1 year but lymphadenitis still exist or even get bigger. My afb culture (specimen- lymph node) shows no growth, Gene x (specimen- lymph node) shows low MTB not resistant to rifampicin, my esr level is 40 mm/hr. I gained around 7 kgs between treatment 56 kgs to 63 kgs. But my weight is constant from 6 month not gaining. I am still suffering from low grade fever 98 to 98.6 in armpit. I am currently taking r cinex 600 and combutol 600 (2 tabs) per day. What should I do? My doctor said lymph node surgery?
