The FNAC microscopic findings: Smear shoss sheets of lymphocytes, lymphoblasts, macrophages, few plasma cells and histiocytes. The impression is Mixed cell reaction .

Thanks for your query. I have gore through your query.
The enlarged lymphnodes can be because of the tuberculosis infection.
You can consult a specialist in infectious diseases, and get it treated with a course of antitubercular drugs. Mean while you can get The Interferon Gamma Release Assays to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care
