I've been taking Hetrazan 100 for three days and noticed that my lymph nodes are swollen. Could this be a side effect of the medication, like maybe the diethylcarbamazine in it is causing this? I'm a bit worried about this reaction. What should I do?

I'm really worried about my uncle who's 56 and has been dealing with tubercular infection in his lymph nodes. Hes already been on anti-tubercular medication for 19 months, but it hasn't improved his condition at all. I'm wondering if there are any top doctors or hospitals in India, especially around Delhi, that you could recommend for this situation. Is surgery something we should be considering as our next step?
