Hi,
If pain and swelling persists even after completion of anti tuberculosis treatment, it may need repeat analysis by an otolaryngologist and to get CT or MRI or lesion and a repeat biopsy to rule out any superimposed fungal infection and if any collection is present inside cyst, may need surgical resection or drainage.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
