Brief Answer:
Yes it is curable

Detailed Answer:
Hello

If the diagnosis is correct and you are having tuberculosis lymphadenitis then please don't worry as it can be cured.

The only issue is that you will have to take the medicine for 6 months continuously and you must not stop in between.

Please take a healthy diet and maintain good hygiene.

If the swelling persists for more than 3 months or it increases in size then you must meet your doctor immediately

You will be fine!!

Take care
