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 worried about a scratch I got from a dog about two days ago. I couldn't get a rabies shot immediately, and I'm planning to get it soon, but it's been over 48 hours now. Will the vaccine still be effective if I get it within 72 hours, or is it too late to prevent rabies?
If you get the rabies shot after 48 hours but before 72 hours of a dog scratch, the vaccine can still be effective. It is ideal to get the rabies vaccine as soon as possible after a potential exposure. The standard regimen for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis involves a series of rabies vaccines, such as Rabipur or Verorab, given on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. Additionally, a dose of rabies immunoglobulin may be administered on day 0 for those with high-risk exposures. It is important to follow the recommended schedule for the vaccine to ensure protection against rabies.

I'm a bit worried about my Widal test results. My Typhi O is 180 positive and Typhi H is 140 positive, but Typhi AH and BH are negative. I've had a fever for the past five days. Does this mean I have typhoid?

I'm dealing with a 99-degree fever after having typhoid for two months. Even though Ive recovered from typhoid, this mild fever still lingers. My fever panel results are normal and my chest X-ray looks fine. What additional tests should I consider to figure out what's causing this fever?
To further investigate the cause of your persistent low-grade fever after recovering from typhoid, I would recommend the following tests. Blood culture to check for any bacterial infection. Urine culture to rule out urinary tract infection. Widal test to ensure complete recovery from typhoid. Dengue NS1 antigen test to rule out dengue fever. Malaria antigen test to rule out malaria. Typhidot test for typhoid fever. Liver function tests to assess liver health post-typhoid. Complete blood count (CBC) to check for any underlying infection or inflammation. Serology tests for other viral infections like hepatitis. Thyroid function tests to rule out thyroid disorders causing fever These tests will help in identifying the underlying cause of your persistent fever and guide further treatment.
