  5. I'm currently on ATT treatment DOT and have had my lymph node aspirated twice. The culture and DSTMTB indicated sensitivity to all first and second-line drugs. However, the lymph node swells up again after the pus is taken out. Is this normal? I've attached a screenshot for reference. I'm taking my medication under DOT, and I have a history of TBM. For the past year and three months, I've been under treatment, and just last month, I noticed the TB lymph node. Could you provide some advice or insight into this?
