Symptoms of pediatric lymph tuberculosis

Patient's question:

These days, my little one at home has a yellow complexion, and I've noticed some swelling in his throat. He always says he feels like there are some small things in his throat, and when he gently presses with his hand, they move around inside. The doctor said this is a symptom of small lymph nodes. Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

Children experiencing recurrent lymph tuberculosis can trigger fever and an increase in body temperature, along with symptoms of prolonged low-grade fever, typically occurring in the afternoon. At the same time, recurrent lymph node enlargement may appear. Antibiotic anti-inflammatory treatment may not be effective. If recurrent lymph node enlargement is accompanied by pain, early treatment is generally required. A treatment plan should be tailored to the specific condition. Lymph tuberculosis requires diagnosis through blood tests or lymph node puncture.
