Hello
Since your lymph nodes are enlarged and diagnosed tuberculosis of lymph nodes ( tubercular lymphadenitis ) .
Your treating doctor advised you AKT-4 ( rifampicin, isoniazide , ethambutol and pyrazinamide ) .
This is the best treatment and it take some time to respond .
When such case visit I also advise my patient to take levofloxacin 10-12 mg / kg body weight in the night with pantoprazole -d for to avoid nausea .
AKT-4 must be as a regular medicine .
Since few patient feels loss of appetite so advised them to take some appetizer .
So need not to worry ,wait for another 10 days and you will respond to this anti tubercular treatment .
Before starting any medicine ( levofloxacin ) , consult your treating physician and get his opinion.
Good luck
