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'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?
That might be turning to cold abscess,needs evaluation,visit Physician for the same

I'm trying to understand what "salmonella typhi TH 240" means. My result showed salmonella typhi TO 60. Does this indicate a ratio of 140? I'm experiencing a really high fever and feeling concerned. Can you explain this to me?
A "salmonella typhi TH = 240" means a high level of antibodies against *Salmonella typhi*, indicating a possible ongoing or recent infection. Your "TO = 60" suggests a lower antibody level, but it does not exactly represent a 1:40 ratio. Given your very high fever, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.

I've had all three of my rabies shots right on time, but I've missed the fourth one that was supposed to be on the 15th. It's now the 16th. Is it okay to get it on the 17th, or should I be worried?
Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections. Continue taking Dolo 650 to manage fever and symptoms. Consider adding: 1. Rest and hydration 2. Warm liquids (e.g., tea, soup) 3. Saline nasal drops (for congestion) 4. Cough syrup (if needed)
