I'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck and after four months of taking medication, I noticed some pus coming out on its own, which was surprising. When I consulted with a surgeon about it, they mentioned surgery wasn't necessary. Now, I'm occasionally noticing some pus on my neck. What should I do about it?

I've been recovering from typhoid that was diagnosed back on January 16, 2018. I don't have a fever anymore, just a bit of weakness and some leg pain. I'm wondering if it's okay to start working again. Also, is there a chance I'm still contagious? And since my typhoid relapsed after two years, is there any treatment available that could prevent this from happening again?

It spreads through contaminated water ,food , Avoid outside food,water

I'm really worried about miliary TB treatment options. The infection seems to have spread to my lungs, spine, and even started in my brain. However, the lumbar puncture doesn't show any bacteria, and my sputum test came back negative. CT scan results and my symptoms both indicate miliary TB. I'm really looking for a second opinion on whether this type of TB is treatable. Can you provide some guidance on this?

yes it can be treated

Can you tell me if there's any risk of getting HIV from a barber who cleans the hair from a straight razor on their hand? I'm a bit worried about if the virus could survive on razors.
