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.

Hey, I'm really confused about something I came across in my test results. It mentions STyphi O 180, and I'm worried whether it indicates typhoid or some other condition. I don't have much knowledge about this, so any clarity you could provide would be super helpful.
S.Typhi O 1:80 refers to a specific blood test result that indicates a possible infection with Salmonella Typhi, the bacteria that causes typhoid fever. A titer of 1:80 suggests a moderate level of antibodies against the bacteria in your blood. This result is commonly seen in individuals with typhoid fever. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. The recommended treatment for typhoid fever usually involves antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin, taken for a specific duration under medical supervision.

I've had PV malaria three times this year and each time I took Lariago DS. I can't take PQ though, because my G6PD enzyme levels are on the lower side. Is there any permanent way to get rid of this? I'm really worried it might keep coming back.
Given your recurrent Plasmodium vivax (PV) malaria and G6PD deficiency, which prevents you from taking primaquine (PQ), consider consulting a specialist for alternative treatment options, such as a higher dose of chloroquine or a combination of chloroquine and other antimalarial medications, and take preventive measures, including using insecticide-treated bed nets, wearing protective clothing, and applying insect repellents to minimize the risk of future infections.
