Active lymph nodes
Im was diagnosed with HIV last year november, i took ARV's for 3 months to decrease my viral load and they worked. Last month all the nodes in my body were swollen, but not painful or red, went for a biopsy for lymphoma and to check TB and it came negative. They removed a lymph node. The doctor gave me an anti-inflamatory medication- COXFLAM 15 but the course is finished and the nodes are stil swollen. Could it be possible that it was early to detect TB/ lymphoma or is it normal if you are positive to have your lymph nodes swollen? Could there be other conditions causing them to swell or should i go back for a consultation or is there a treatment that i can recieve.
wow...when my son has an issue he just talks to HIS infectious disease doctor. that is who you should be discussing your medical issues with.
