Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
It sounds like you're dealing with frequent cold abscesses on your neck.
1. A recurring TB infection could be the cause, even if your tests are negative.
2. While ATT medicine is the correct treatment for TB, the infection may return if it isn't completely cleared.
3. Following the full ATT course as prescribed by your doctor gives you the best chance to eliminate TB bacteria and prevent further episodes.
It's important to stick to your medication and stay in close contact with your doctor for better management of the condition.
