Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
For how long u are suffering from it? any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? are u having fever? any other lymph node swelling in your body? which lymph nodes in ur body are enlarged? what is ur occupation?
In my opinion you need a proper workup so that u can be diagnosed properly. if i am your attending physician i will do all your baselines starting from baselines FBC ESR CRP CHEST X ray LFTs Abdominal ultrasound Scan. It is very important to look for the focus.
In my opinion you really should stop your antibiotics and after 48hrs your blood and urine urine should be sent for culture sensitivity. in the light of these reports treatment should be started
Do meet your physician so that your case can be addressed properly
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain and fever.
get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
