Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Treatment options for granulomatous lymphdenitis depend on the causative agent and may include
-expectant management if lymph nodes are smaller than 3cm
-antimicrobial therapy used when nodes are greater than 2-3 cm, are unilateral, have overlying erythema, and are tender.
-chemotherapy and radiation (for malignancy).Not in your case
Surgery may not be a primary treatment option but foci of granular necrosis will need removal of the death tissues.Surgery and further biopsy may be the best option in this case.
Hope my answer will clear your doubts
Wish you well
