I'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck and after four months of taking medication, I noticed some pus coming out on its own, which was surprising. When I consulted with a surgeon about it, they mentioned surgery wasn't necessary. Now, I'm occasionally noticing some pus on my neck. What should I do about it?

I've been having some issues with high eosinophil levels - they were over 10 last week, and two months ago they were at 21. After taking a 10-day course of hetrazan, my weakness has gotten a bit better, but now I'm dealing with some diarrhea symptoms and still feel a bit weak. The eosinophil levels did drop to 5 in the last three days. Do you think I'll start feeling more refreshed after finishing the hetrazan treatment, and does this mean I'm recovering from a possible parasite infection since the eosinophil count has gone down?

With a significant reduction in eosinophils from 21% to 5% after the Hetrazan course, it's likely that the treatment was effective in addressing the underlying parasitic infection; as your body recovers, you may start feeling fresher and more energetic, but it's essential to monitor your symptoms, including diarrhea, and follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure complete recovery and to rule out any other underlying conditions
