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 really worried because I've been diagnosed with latent TB in my lymph nodes, and I'm not sure if it's safe for me to have a drink every now and then. Could this affect my condition in any way? Should I be avoiding alcohol completely until I'm treated?

I've been trying to understand the difference between the HIV RNA quantitative and qualitative tests. If I got a quantitative test done after six weeks, would it be a detection test, or is it more for measuring the amount of the virus if it's already detected? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarification.
If you're testing after 6 weeks of potential exposure and want to know the exact viral load or confirm HIV status, the quantitative test can still be useful, but a combination of tests (including antigenantibody tests) is often recommended for a more complete assessment. Always follow your healthcare providers advice on the timing and type of test.

I'm really worried and curious about something I've come across. Can you explain in detail what it means if someone is S. Typhi O positive at 1:80? I've heard about these medical terms and test results, and I just want to understand what it all signifies for someone's health.
S. Typhi O positive at 1:80 in a Widal test suggests a mild or borderline immune response to Salmonella typhi, the bacteria causing typhoid fever. This may indicate a past infection or vaccination, but by itself, it doesn't confirm active typhoid; clinical symptoms and other tests are essential.
