So I've been dealing with this TB infection in my neck for about 2 years now, and I got treated through a government dispensary, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I'm still on DOTS treatment, but the swelling on both sides of my neck and these small lumps are still there. I'm really not sure if they're lymph nodes or if the TB bacteria is still hanging around. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?
