Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have tuberculous lymphadenitis. It has no relation with your chest x ray and sputum examination.
You have extra pulmonary tuberculosis. You should take anti tuberculous treatment (AKT) for 6 months. You will be cured by that. Baseline liver function test should be done and then start treatment.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
