What Causes Bump On Neck Under Chin?

Bump on my neck under my chin on my left side formed in August. After a few weeks it got smaller but is still a small hard bump that has not gone away. It seems like it would be a swollen lymph node but to my knowledge it should have gone away by now. I am currently diagnosed with Tuberculosis and just wanted confirmation on whether i should go get checked out or not.

hi.

based from your description, it could be lymphadenopathies secondary to your tuberculosis infection. it will eventually subside once the infection has been controlled. tuberculosis treatment must be done accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
