Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
BCG adenitis requires Atitubercular treatment.
Surgical excission usually not necessary.
Even if the excission was done ATT is mandatory.
Consult your pediatrician and follow his advice.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
