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 got a question. I was bitten by a cat and got a TT shot the next day. I've also started my antirabies vaccine. After my first dose, I drank some lemon juice. Should I be worried about that?
These symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection or food poisoning. Consider the following: Rest and stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or sports drinks. Take anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide or consult a doctor for prescription medication. Apply heat to the stomach to alleviate cramps and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for joint pain. Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, persist, or are accompanied by bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing.

I'm really worried about tuberculous lymphadenitis. Is it something that can spread from one person to another? If that's the case, could you explain how it happens? I'm just trying to understand the risks better.
