Hi, the tuberculosis is a chronic disease, and needs complete examination and search to find where else is the infection. Tuberculous lymph gland suggests the disease is there, and now the doctor has to search where else it is.
The rupture is not a big thing , but the treatment should be continued for at least 6 months, to a maximum of 2 years depending upon the severity. Thank you.
