Hi Doctor, My Wife Had A Swelling Near Neck/clavicle. When

Hi Doctor,
My wife had a swelling near neck/clavicle. When she went for checkup it was doubted as TB. Hence she was operated n taken out all the liquid formed and the same was sent for lab test to check if the same is related to TB. The result came in as TB cannot be ruled out (still unsure).
After that she was advised by the doctor to take AKT3 tablet, it's been close to five months now though she is taking tablets regularly (morning one and in the night one) there is one more swelling newly growing very next to the old swelling place. She had got the ESR/DC test done a last week back the result was 22 (range 15 to 20).
Please advise if this is truly a TB or could be any other problem.

Thank you
