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.

I'm really concerned about something. So, my mom developed this boil on her neck about six months back, and apart from that, she didnt have any other symptoms. We decided to consult a doctor, who suggested a Mantoux test. But heres the thingthe lab technician seemed really new and injected the liquid deep inside her hand, not just under the top layer of skin. After three days, it turned red. The doctor then recommended TB treatment based on the result, even though she wasn't showing any other TB symptoms. With the lockdown kicking in, we couldn't start the treatment for three months. When things opened up, we went back to the doctor, and they suggested another Mantoux test since quite some time had passed. This time, at a different lab, the technician did it right on the outer layer, and it came back negative. Thankfully, the doctor said we didnt need to start any treatment. This whole experience has been pretty confusing, and I'm not sure what to think now. Can a Mantoux test be inaccurate sometimes, or could this have been a mistake due to the technique used?

do alternative test like CBNAAT

I got my Widal test results back and I'm kinda worried about them. The report says: Salmonella typhi O Antigen 180, Salmonella typhi H Antigen 180, Salmonella paratyphi AH Antigen 120, and Salmonella paratyphi Bh Antigen 120. Can you tell me if this means I have typhoid?

Based on your Widal test results, the elevated titers of Salmonella typhi O and H antigens suggest a possible typhoid fever infection. I recommend starting a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, ensure adequate hydration and rest for a speedy recovery. Consult with your physician before starting any medication.
