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 feeling quite anxious about something that happened over three weeks ago. I got bitten on the hand by a bat, and when I saw a general physician, they suggested just a tetanus shot. They mentioned that rabies vaccines aren't necessary for bat bites here in India. But I'm getting worried now. Is that really the case? Should I be doing anything else to protect myself from rabies?

its better to take rabies vaccine as a precautionary measure
