I've been dealing with swelling on the left side of my neck for about a month now. My doctor diagnosed it as lymph node tuberculosis and gave me some medication to treat it. I've been following the treatment plan for 25 days, but the swelling seems to have increased rather than decreased. Why would it get bigger while I'm on medication? Could it be spreading to other parts of my body?

I'm feeling quite anxious about my test results. My neutrophils are at 84, and my erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 23mmhr. I've also got a pus cell count of 5-6 hpf. The results show Salmonella typhi O and H both at 1:160, while Salmonella paratyphi A and B are negative. It says negative for dengue and malaria. My RBC count is 5.61 millioncmm, platelet count is 2.13 lakhscmm, and haemoglobin is 16.2 gdl. My WBC is at 7000 cellscumm. The doctor suggested that I get admitted, but I'm really pressed for time and can't afford to do that right now. What should I do?
Hi from the reports it seems to be like typhoid fever. The decision of admission must be taken by you and your doctor after discussion of the condition

I had sex with someone new last night and during it the condom broke. It took me about a minute before fixing it and switching to a new one. Now I'm stressed about the risk of getting HIV from this. Is there a real chance I got infected? What should I do now if there's a possibility of having caught something?
Hi, I understand your concern. There's a potential risk of HIV transmission if the other person is HIV positive. I recommend starting **PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis)** within 72 hours and getting tested. Please consult a doctor immediately for evaluation and guidance.
