My mom has had this swollen node on her neck for about 4 months now. It didnt hurt or anything at first, but it started to get bigger. After running through a bunch of tests like FNAC, turns out its a TB gland. We've been on TB meds for like 3 months now, but she's started feeling pain and theres pus building up inside the node. It hasn't gone down at all. What should we do?

I've heard that someone who had COVID tested negative after 21 days. Is it okay to meet them and have close contact after two months? Is there still any risk of passing on COVID or anything like that? Just trying to be cautious and understand the situation better.

I've been having a fever at the same time every day, with shivering and body pain for the last 45 days. I visited a doctor, but they couldn't diagnose what's going on. Can you help me figure out what this might be? It's been pretty frustrating and worrying.

It sounds like you may have a recurring fever pattern, possibly due to an infection like malaria, dengue, or typhoid, which needs specific testing. Request blood tests like CBC, malarial parasite, and typhoid panel, and ensure adequate hydration and rest while awaiting results.
