I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.

My dad's been on meds for spine TB for about 45 days now, including Akurit 4, and his recent LFT showed elevated enzyme levels. Is this something that typically happens because of the meds, or is it something we should be concerned about?
