I don’t know which tests doctors performed on you, but punition, biopsy, PPD-test and microbiological examination are essential for diagnosing tuberculosis of a lymph node.

Punition and biopsy are also necessary for diagnosing any lymph cancer.

Whatever side effect happened, it is only temporary. Your primary concern should be revealing the right diagnosis and not focusing on any side effects from the anti-tuberculosis therapy.
