View allI've been dealing with a lymph node infection for a year, and at first, I thought it was just heat pimples. I had to get the wound cleaned out with an injection, hydrogen peroxide solution, and hydroheal ointment for open wounds. Currently, I'm on antibiotics and painkillers. I'm really worried about this not getting better. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?
Yes you are doing it right follow your doctors advice

I'm really concerned about the different types of typhoid. Can you tell me which one is more serious, the H typhi or the O typhi? I'm worried about which one poses a bigger threat to health.
H typhi and O typhi are both serovars of the bacteria Salmonella enterica. H typhi is also known as Salmonella typhi, which causes typhoid fever in humans. O typhi is another serovar of Salmonella enterica, but it is not commonly associated with causing disease in humans. For the treatment of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi (H typhi), antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin are commonly prescribed. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the infection and other factors.
