I'm really worried about this breast lump that started during my pregnancy. It turned into sinuses, and the shape changed too. They did an ultrasound and found acute chronic mastitis, but even after antibiotics, nothing helped. Now they've told me it's breast TB, and I'm on medicine for that. Could this really be tuberculosis, or is there a chance it could be something else? I'm really looking for some clarity here, doc.

if you have any other symptoms like fever , evening rise of temperature and mainly the blood test would have confirmed if it was a tuberculosis

View allI had an E. coli infection before and now it seems to be coming back there's pus leaking from the surgery site where they drained the previous infection. Is this a sign the infection returned or something else going on?
Pus after prior E.coli abscess drainage could mean reinfection.Need clinical evaluation and possibly repeat antibiotics or drainage.

I'm really concerned about how quickly someone with Covid-19 can spread it to others. Like, do they start spreading the virus right after they get infected, or does it take a few days? I'm trying to figure out if there's a period where they aren't contagious. Could you shed some light on this?
they can spread immediately after you getting infected. so quarantine is done

So a monkey bit me last week, and I'm a bit unsure about what I should or shouldn't be eating right now. Are there certain foods that I'd need to avoid or be cautious about? I'm really curious to know if my diet needs to change because of this bite.
Your 40-minute run and sweating before the blood test likely impacted your fasting blood sugar reading. _Why Fasting Sugar is High_ 1. _Adrenaline and cortisol_: Intense exercise triggers the release of stress hormones, which can raise blood sugar levels. 2. _Dehydration_: Sweating can lead to dehydration, causing blood sugar levels to increase. 3. _Liver glucose release_: Exercise can stimulate the liver to release stored glucose, increasing blood sugar levels. _Consider Retesting_ Repeat the fasting blood sugar test after a period of rest and a normal diet to get a more accurate reading.
