I'm dealing with Malaria and my doctor prescribed Falcigo sp kit, but I can't remember the dosage and how long I'm supposed to take it. Could you help me out with this?

I'm really worried about tuberculous lymphadenitis. Is it something that can spread from one person to another? If that's the case, could you explain how it happens? I'm just trying to understand the risks better.
Yes, tuberculous lymphadenitis is a contagious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It can spread from one person to another through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is important to seek medical treatment to prevent the spread of the disease. Treatment usually involves a combination of antibiotics such as Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol for several months.

I'm really concerned about my situation here. I was bitten by a street cat before and went through the full rabies vaccination series of 5 doses. Then, 6 months later, the same cat bit me again, and I got 3 more doses of the vaccine. Now, if this same cat bites me once more just 2 months after my last rabies shot, do I need to get vaccinated again? If so, how many doses would be necessary? Also, just to mention, the cat hasn't been vaccinated. What should I do?
After two previous bite incidents and vaccination series, if bitten again by the same unvaccinated cat, you'll likely need a booster dose. Here's a general guideline: Consult a Doctor Immediately 1. Report the incident and previous vaccination history. 2. Discuss the need for a booster dose. General Recommendations 1. If the previous vaccination series was completed (5 doses), a booster dose of 1-2 injections might be sufficient. 2. If the incident occurs within 2 months of the last vaccination dose, a booster dose might not be necessary.
