Hi, the swelling on the neck may be due to an enlarged lymph node caused by T.B. The gland can be biopsied and tb can be confirmed. And appropriate anti tb medicine can be started. TB treatment is a little prolonged, but its completely curable. Dont worry.Meanwhile he should take a high protein diet.
