Cervical lymph node tuberculosis is commonly treated with anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, followed by intensive therapy. During treatment, patients must maintain a balanced diet and regular daily routine, and appropriately increase nutritional intake. If drug therapy proves ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered. Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly upon symptom onset and, under the guidance of a physician, select an appropriate treatment modality based on the severity of their condition.
