Question 1

I'm currently on medication for lymph node tuberculosis, and it's been around 2 and a half months. Recently, I've noticed that the nodes in my abdomen have become enlarged, whereas before it was just the ones in my neck and groin. I'm a bit worried and was wondering how long I might have these enlarged nodes and when this treatment course will be done. Can you help explain what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Enlarged lymph nodes can persist throughout TB treatment, but they typically start to shrink within 3-6 months; the standard treatment course for lymph node TB is 6-9 months, but it may vary depending on your response to treatment, so consult your doctor to assess your progress and determine the best course of action.

Question 2

I'm wondering if it's alright for me to use Asthalin respules before playing sports. I have asthma and my breathing gets really heavy if I don't use it. But when I do, I can play for the full duration. Would using it beforehand be okay?
