Question

I'm based in Pune and have been dealing with Tubercular Lymphadenopathy for the last 9 months, but I can still feel swollen nodes on the left side of my neck. I'm worried because even after all this treatment, the size hasn't gone down. Could you recommend a well-experienced specialist in Pune who can help me with this?

Ideally the swelling also should come down,as it is still persisting, visit Physician for follow up and appropriate treatment.

Question

I'm a bit worried about my Widal test results. I got S. typhi O 180, S. typhi H 140, and the others at 120. Does this mean I have an infection or something?

Question

I'm feeling really stressed and confused about a recent potential HIV exposure. I had protected sex with a prostitute on December 26th, 2021, and today is January 17th, 2022. I've been reading a lot about symptoms online, and it's freaking me out. I took an HIV test (4th generation abag p24) on the 10th day after the exposure, and it came back non-reactive, with an index value of 0.12. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or do I need to take another test on the 28th day, like my doctor suggested? He mentioned that if I'm negative on the 28th day, I can just move on, but I'm still unsure. Can you help clarify this for me?

Question

I'm a bit stressed because it's been over two weeks and I'm still experiencing this low-grade fever that spikes over 99.8 in the afternoons and normalizes by midnight. The fever tends to increase with even a little activity and comes with a mild headache. Plus, I'm dealing with a lot of gas. Initially, I had body aches and a headache on one side. When I took a blood test after a week, my widal test was positive with s typhi O 1160 and s typhi h 180, but s paratyphi ah was nil. The thing is, the typhidot test came back negative for salmonella typhi igg and igm. I'm really puzzledis this really typhoid or could it be something else? I've been on cefixine 200, dolo650, and nexpro rd40 for 89 days now. If it is typhoid, how long should I expect this low-grade fever to stick around? I'm quite worried about all of this.
