Question

I'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck, and after finishing two months of medication, the lump turned reddish and there's an open sinus with discharge coming out. I'm really concerned about this. Do you know why this might be happening and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it possible to completely cure this?

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.
