Question

I've got this lymph node tuberculosis on the left side of my neck, and I've been on the first line anti-tuberculosis treatment, plus Streptomycin injections, for around two months now. I've noticed that the swelling in my neck has moved from the top to the bottom. Is this normal, and what could it mean?
