hi.
Welcome to HCM.
If those swellings are because of TB then these will subside over time.
You will have to take anti-tuberculosis treatment for 6 month if you had not taken previously.
New cases are initially treated with four drugs: isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and either ethambutol or streptomycin. After 2 months, they are then treated with a continuation phase of 4 months with isoniazid and rifampin.
Generally tuberculosis infection takes time to respond.
Take care.
