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.

Testing too early can lead to false results, while being tested too late can cause complication

I'm a bit worried about my Widal test results. The report shows Typhi O at 1160, Typhi H at 1180, Para Typhi AH at 140, and Para Typhi BH at 120. What do these numbers mean? Should I be concerned about these levels?

The fatigue and heavy-headedness may indicate a lingering infection, sinusitis, or even anemia. Consult a primary care physician to rule out underlying conditions. Blood tests, such as a complete blood count (CBC), may help identify the cause.
