HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this was the swollen lymph node due to infection then it should have responded to antibiotic with the proper antibiotic infection eradicates very fast, if the condition is still as it is then it need to be ruled out for Tubercular infection and your history could be suggestive of this so I would suggest to discuss this with your physician, to rule out the tubercular infection numbers of test needed, like pus culture sensitivity for AFB (Acid fast bacilii) MT test, WSR and other, such case needs little care and medical attention as long as all the differential diagnosis are concern besides the TB hope this information helps.
