I'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck and after four months of taking medication, I noticed some pus coming out on its own, which was surprising. When I consulted with a surgeon about it, they mentioned surgery wasn't necessary. Now, I'm occasionally noticing some pus on my neck. What should I do about it?
