This may be normal as you do not have fever or loss of appetite. However your concern is justified as lymph nodes have not reduced in size. You can get a very specific answer by getting an FNAC and sending it for TB culture and a rapid test called GeneXpert/TBNAAT. This test is available in government hospitals free of cost.

The doctor will examine the lymph nodes whether they are soft/hard etc, solitary or in a group, matted etc. He will get some idea from it. Any kind of infection can secondarily cause enlargement of lymph nodes. However since ESR and CRP is raised one thinks in terms of a chronic disease. If other symptoms corroborate you may be diagnosed as having TB although your sputum is negative It happens. Another cause could be lymphoma.

Not effective in what way? Symptoms were not improved or size of the lymph node was not regressed? With correct treatment, the disease will be cured. It means you will get improvement clinically in the form of increased appetite, weight gain, no fever etc. But the size of lymph node can remain as such in some cases. It doesn't necessarily indicate an active disease or treatment failure.

OBJECTIVE: The currently recommended treatment for lymph node tuberculosis is 6 months of rifampicin and isoniazid plus pyrazinamide for the first 2 months, given either daily or thrice weekly. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of a 6-month twice-weekly regimen and a daily two-drug regimen. METHODS: Patients with biopsy confirmed superficial lymph node tuberculosis were randomly allocated to receive either a daily self-administered 6-month regimen of rifampicin and isoniazid, or a twice-weekly, directly observed, 6-month regimen of rifampicin and isoniazid plus pyrazinamide for the first 2 months, in Madurai, South India, Patients were followed up for 36 months after completing treatment. RESULTS: Of 277 enrolled patients, data was available for analysis in 268. At the end of treatment, 116 of 134 [87%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 81-93%] patients in each treatment group had a favourable clinical response; 14 (11%; 95% CI 6-16%) and 17 (13%; 95% CI 7-19%) patients had a doubtful response, and 4 (3%; 95% CI 0-6%) and 1 (1%; 95% CI 0-2%) patients had an unfavourable response among those treated with the daily and twice-weekly regimen, respectively. During 36 months after completion of treatment, five patients [2 (2%; 95% CI 1-3%) and 3 (2%; 95% CI 1-3%) patients treated with the daily and twice-weekly regimen, respectively] had relapse of lymph node tuberculosis, of 260 assessed. Adverse reactions probably attributable to the treatment regimens occurred in 1% of the patients treated daily and in 11% of those treated twice-weekly (P < 0.001). At the end of 36 months after treatment, 126 of 134 (94%; 95% CI 90-98%) and 129 of 134 (96%; 95% CI 94-98%) of the patients treated with the daily and twice-weekly regimen, respectively, had a successful outcome. CONCLUSION: Both the self-administered daily regimen and the fully observed twice-weekly regimen were highly efficacious for treating patients with lymph node tuberculosis and may be considered as alternative options to the recommended regimens.
