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 worried about my brother. He's 21 and had a fever for a long time, and we found out he has TB in his neck. The doctors at the government hospital put him on a treatment with 6 rifampicin pills daily, and after 6 months the node size decreased from 43mm to 29mm. They told him to continue for another month, but after that, they didn't do any follow-up or further checkups before stopping the treatment. Is it normal to stop the treatment without checking if the infection is completely gone or if the node size has decreased more? Should we try to get more checkups to make sure everything's okay?
no donot stop this treatment without consulting your doctor

I'm a bit worried about my rabies shots. I got 5 doses of the anti-rabies vaccine back in January after a dog bite, but turns out the dog didn't have rabies. Recently, another dog scratched my leg with its teeth, leaving just a scratch with a little blood. This happened about 10 days ago on October 1st. Should I get vaccinated again?
Since you've already completed the full anti-rabies vaccine series in January and the scratch wasn't deep or from a rabid dog, you likely don't need to take the vaccine again. However, if you're still concerned or have any doubts, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for peace of mind.
