Hi, Had lung Tb with neck LN reactive lymph node hyperplasia at age of 9 years--completed full 6 months AKT. Now at age of 23-i have enlarged neck pevel 2 lymph nodes to size 3 cms-(painless, totally asymptomatic-no fever/nomalaise/no cough/no weight loss/tonight sweats) if I am diagnosed as TB lymph nodes-----will I be considered as category 2 AKT and will I need INJECTABLE streptomycin? Or I will just need oral drugs as it can be ATYPICAL mycobacteria as there is no symptom. Please help. Thank you.

Dear Lybrate user, you have to undergo FNAC of enlarged lymph nodes to confirm the diagnosis. If TB is proved it would be better to add Injectable drug along with usual ATT. Wishing you Good Health.
