Hello

the tuberculi bacilli which cause kach's lymphadenitis is a very slow dividing organism , hence the medications used for it also take some time to act. Your doctor is right in advising you in waiting for 2 weeks for the response to occur.
Please follow his advice,it will work, take care!
Thanks
