I have lymph node tb. I have done lymph node biopsy recently. The pus came when surgeon was doing the biopsy. He removed all the pus and cleaned the site. He prescribed augmentin 625 for 3 times a day for 7 days. Its 15 days after the biopsy. As my family doctor was doing dressing, small amount of puss came out. Is this risky? He said that he had removed the puss for now. Tomorrow we will have a look if there is more or not. I am worried if this puss is normal or even if was there, after removing it, my wound will not develop more of it? Please help me with this.

Tb treatment should be started once biopy reports confirm tb and pus discharge may take a long time to heal.

Hi, Are you on anti TB treatment for lymph node TB? If yes then it will take time to complete resolution of pus, till then need to daily clean and dress the wound.
