Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The lab report indicates that the cells in the lymph node are more likely to be that of TB lymphadenitis. This is a common chronic illness and you must discuss in detail with a pediatrician before starting any treatment. Since this is a chronic condition, it requires medications to be taken for about 9 months to a year along with taking good food and maintaining hygienic practices.
