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?

View allI'm really concerned about my HIV status. So, I had a PCR RNA test 22 days after potential exposure, and it came back not detected. Then, at 44 days, I did an HIV combo test and it was negative. Finally, I did HIV rapid testing at 76 days, and that was negative too. Based on these results, am I in the clear?

I'm really worried about my wife. She was diagnosed with TB in March and started on the standard treatment, but now she's dealing with back and neck pain, and stiffness in both areas. I've had some general physicians suggest getting an X-ray of her spine to check for Pott's spine, while others are saying an MRI of the whole spine or a CT scan of the LS spine might be better. Can you help me understand what might be going on and which specialist we should see? I'm also confused about why she might have spine TB symptoms when she's already on meds for TB in her lungs.
Yes .MRI spine is advised to the patient for evaluating potts spine TB..If TB spine is present pt needs ATT for another 6 months ,since it is extrapulmonary TB.

I'm a bit worried about my Widal test results. The report shows Typhi O at 1160, Typhi H at 1180, Para Typhi AH at 140, and Para Typhi BH at 120. What do these numbers mean? Should I be concerned about these levels?
Morning fevers can be caused by various factors, including infections, inflammation, or hormonal imbalances. The fatigue and heavy-headedness may indicate a lingering infection, sinusitis, or even anemia. Consult a primary care physician to rule out underlying conditions. Blood tests, such as a complete blood count (CBC), may help identify the cause.
