Question

I'm really worried about this breast lump that started during my pregnancy. It turned into sinuses, and the shape changed too. They did an ultrasound and found acute chronic mastitis, but even after antibiotics, nothing helped. Now they've told me it's breast TB, and I'm on medicine for that. Could this really be tuberculosis, or is there a chance it could be something else? I'm really looking for some clarity here, doc.

Question

I'm really worried about something that happened today. I was walking in the rain and accidentally stepped on a dead mouse. Im not sure, but it seemed like it may have been killed by a rabid dog. Now Im concerned because my shoes touched a lot of things like my car seats, the gearbox, AC control, and even my phone cover, and Ive touched all of these with my hands. After that, I ate and even talked on the phone, holding it close to my face. Could this be a serious health concern, or am I just overthinking things?
