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 got bitten by a rat and took a tetanus shot within 5 hours. The doctor advised me to get rabies shots too, just to be cautious. Is that the right thing to do? The wound is almost healed now. What do you think?

Yes, the doctor's suggestion to take rabies injections as a precautionary measure is correct, even if the wound has almost healed, as rabies can incubate for weeks to months; taking post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), including rabies vaccination, within 24-48 hours of the bite can effectively prevent rabies infection.

I'm really worried about my brother who's had a fever for about a week now. The fever comes and goes and our family doctor suggested a Widal test. His results came back with S. typhi O 180, S. Typhi H 180, S. Paratyphi AH 120, and S. Paratyphi BH 120. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Could you tell me if it looks like he has typhoid?

report it normal but it will not exclude the possibility by 100% because there may be false negative , consult physician and show the report
