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've had lymph node tuberculosis for a couple of months now and I'm on the medication, but I'm worried because the swelling in my neck keeps getting bigger, and it's pink too. It's also weird because the swelling moves from one spot to another on my neck. What could this mean? How long will it take to get better?

I got bitten by a rat at work about 27 days ago and accidentally scratched the wound too. I did wash it with water right away. My tetanus shot is up-to-date, but I never got any antirabies shots. Now the wound's healed completely. Do I need to do anything more about this?
