Is It Safe To Take Augmentin For Swollen Painful Lymph Nodes?

Hi.. I got my lymph nodes swelling around 8 months back.The reason behind this swelling was not found during the pathology test. So as per the advice of my doctor,I underwent a surgeory and the swelling was operated and removed and sent for the lab tests for further diagnosis. The results of the tests stated that it MAY be due to Tuberclosis!!! So I was taking AKT-4 tablets with Benadon and LIV-52 for 6 months and started taking AKT-3 tablets for 2 months( totally 8 months I am taking AKT tablets). But suddenly 2weeks back I suffered from severe common cold and again in the other side of my neck, again a lymp node swelling has come.After taking the antibiotics like AUGMENTIN 625 for 5 days, it did reduce to some extent.Now I am free from common cold but still the lymph node is swollen and is paining to some extent also. Please let me know what is the cause and remedy for this.I am still continuing my AKT tablets!!!
