First, ask her not to play with TB medicines.. yes they have lot of side effects... TB lymph node are really bad and take some time more than 6 months to clear.. esr is not confirmatory for tuberculosis.. do surgical excision of lymph node and get pathology examination to confirm tuberculosis now..
