I'm a bit worried because I had a penicillin injection before, and now my VDRL test is reactive again. I'm not sure what steps to take next, and also, my nose seems to have a strange smell. Could you guide me on what might be causing this and what I should do?

I've had lymph node tuberculosis for a couple of months now and I'm on the medication, but I'm worried because the swelling in my neck keeps getting bigger, and it's pink too. It's also weird because the swelling moves from one spot to another on my neck. What could this mean? How long will it take to get better?

I recently found out I have typhoid 1120, and I'm really worried about how long it's going to take before I'm fully recovered and feeling better. Could you let me know what symptoms I should expect and how soon they might go away? Also, I'm a bit unsure about what foods are safe to eat during this time and if there are any specific diet precautions I should follow.

Typically, typhoid fever lasts for 2-4 weeks with proper treatment, and symptoms may resolve within 7-10 days, but this can vary depending on individual factors and treatment response. To manage your diet, focus on consuming bland, easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, apples, and vegetables, while avoiding spicy, fatty, or high-fiber foods that can irritate your stomach.
