I'm really worried about my 60-year-old relative who's been dealing with TB for months now. The disease has spread to her brain, lungs, and liver, and I'm really not sure what the best course of treatment would be for her. Could you help me understand what options we have to help her get better?

I'm a bit worried because I had a penicillin injection before, and now my VDRL test is reactive again. I'm not sure what steps to take next, and also, my nose seems to have a strange smell. Could you guide me on what might be causing this and what I should do?

I've got a question about the rabies vaccine. So, I had the full rabipur course back in November and December 2019. But then I got exposed again in February 2020 from a dog lick and took booster dosesone on February 4th, another on February 28th, then March 28th, and the last one on April 27th. Now, I'm worried about how long I'm actually protected. If I have another incident like a bite or a lick in the future, what should I do? Can you give me some guidance on this?
