sOMETIME A LYMPH NODE MAY PERSIST EVEN AFTER TAKING FULL TB TREATMENT. IF ITS AN ISOLATED NODE AND YOU HAVE NO SYMPTOMS YOU NEED NOT WORRY AND GO AHEAD WITH YOUR PLANNED PREGNANCY. ESR IS A VERY NON SPECIFIC TEST AND IS ONLY INDICATIVE OF INFLAMMATION IN THE BODY. THOUGH TB IS A CAUSE OF RAISED ESR BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CAUSES AS WELL. IF YOU ARE OTHERWISE HEALTHY PL DO NOT BE OVERTLY CONCERNED ABOUT IT. IT WILL SETTLE DOWN IN DUE COURSE OF TIME.
