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.

View allHow soon after a covid infection do black fungus symptoms usually appear? Can early detection of black fungus be treated without needing surgery?
Black fungus, or mucormycosis, can appear within days to weeks after a COVID-19 infection, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems or those treated with corticosteroids. While early detection is crucial, not all cases can be treated without surgery, especially if the infection is advanced or involves vital structures like the eyes or brain

I got bitten by a female monkey on my left hand's ring finger, and it's been bleeding and has a small wound. I washed it with antiseptic and tincture Iodine, but now the finger is a bit swollen and stiff. I had a tetanus shot back in November 2016. Should I be worried about this, and what should I do next?

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?
Its highly unlikely that youre at risk for rabies from this situation. Rabies transmission requires direct contact with infected saliva, usually through bites or scratches, which doesnt seem to have happened here. If youre still feeling anxious, you can consult a healthcare provider, who might give you peace of mind and provide further guidance based on the specific circumstances.
