I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my sister. She had an exploratory laparotomy last August and was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis. She's been on ATT since September, taking Rifampin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyridoxine. She's feeling better, her appetite's good, and she's gaining weight, which is great. But lately, I've noticed her arms and hands feel warmer to the touch compared to others in the family. She doesn't feel feverish, and her oral temperature is normal around 98F. Is this something we should be worried about?
The recent onset of warm arms and hands in your sister, despite normal body temperature and overall well-being, could be related to her ongoing anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT), particularly Rifampin, which can cause flushing and warmth;

I'm married and it's been about 1.5 years now. I don't smoke or drink at all, but I'm getting worried because a few months ago, my wife had fistula surgery and her HIV test was negative at that time. The gynecologist recommended I take a retrovirus test, and it's been stressing me out. I had an HIV test done about 5 years ago and it was non-reactive. Do you think there's any chance of the virus getting transmitted? I'm pretty anxious about it and not sure what I should do next.
