History of tb with reactive cervical lymphadenitis @age of 9 yrs-completed full ATT that time. Chicken pox preceded by URTI 2 months ago-cervical lymph nodes just below ear between mastoid and mandible angle groove were enlarged at that time. Completed 5 days valacyclovir1gmTDS and cefixime200 BD. LN were almost same size for a week. Then I stopped palpating. 40 days after this-i felt LN small grape sized bilaterally at same site. Which enlarged to 2 cm diameter at present (60 days after chickenpox). NO SYMPTOMS/NO PAIN/NO FATIGUE/NO FEVER. Usg LN showed no necrosis &size 1.88 cm�0.68 cm As per Lybrateconsultation-its not TB as no symptoms, not cancer bcoz acute presentation: Started these before 5 days=AMOXYCLAV625BD & diclofenac50+pcm325+serratiopeptidase10 BD for 3 days. I actually CHEWED tablets. So enteric coating damage may have resulted ineffective treatment. What to do? Maybe I am exposed to TB bcoz I work in government hospital. Is it possible that delayed RE-ENLARGEMENT after chickenpox. Afraid of PAINFUL fnac.

By chewing the tablet it will not lose its effect. If there are no symptoms you need not worry about TB and do a Mx test and blood count and sputum AFB examination to make sure and reduce your fear.
