Hello.
My name is Dr Talal Hussain .
i completely understand you concern.
Well tuberculous Lymphadenitis is a common condition that present to my clinic . But here i would like to know how was your tuberculous lymphadenitis diagnosed as only then will the treatment be effective .

As far as the treatment is concerned, it usually lasts for around 9 months so problems associated with it will be there for couple of months but eventually improve . Just keep in mind that on-time medication with no skipping is absolutely important to get rid of this condition. One other thing that is important for TB treatment is that with vitamin B6 is also taken along with TB medication and after 2 months a followup with your physician is mandatory as after 2 months some changes are made in the medication.

I hope the answer was helpful . If you have any further questions feel free to contact in writing .

Regards.
