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've been really anxious about this HIV thing. I had protected sex with a sex worker, but I was drinking at the time. From what I remember, there wasn't anything risky involved in what we did. Am I still at risk for HIV?

I recently found out that my girlfriend had a past relationship, and now I'm just a bit anxious about things. To be cautious, I decided to get tested for HIV 1 and 2 using the Elisa method, and my results came back with a value of 0.09. I've attached my test report here. Could you help me understand what this means? Should I be worried or take any further steps?
-Hello, It's understandable that you're concerned. A result of 0.09 from the HIV 1 and 2 ELISA test is typically considered negative, as it is well below the cutoff for positivity. However, it's always a good idea to follow up with a healthcare profes

I'm really worried about my mother. She's had this swelling on her neck for about four months now, and while it doesn't hurt or irritate her, it's gotten bigger. We've done a bunch of tests, including something called an FNAC, and found out it's a gland from TB. Shes been on TB treatment for three months, but she's started feeling pain because now there's pus in that node. The doctor has already removed the pus twice this month, but the swelling doesn't seem to be getting any better, and now she has a fever that goes up to between 100 and 101 in the evening. Plus, she's lost her appetite and only manages to eat 1 or 2 chapatis per meal. I'm starting to wonder if she might need surgery to get rid of the pus completely. If that's the case, what kind of procedure would it involve?
take food with increased protein and increase the multuvitamin content
