I'm really worried about my mom. She's dealing with lymph nodes TB and we began her treatment about three days ago. Since then, her urine has turned red and today she even started vomiting a red color. It's freaking me out, especially because she's diabetic. Can you tell me what might be going on and what we should do?

I'm a bit worried because a monkey just grazed my right hand with its teeth, and there's a small mark, but luckily no blood. I've already gotten a TT shot, but should I also get a rabies vaccine? Can you advise me on what to do next?
As a smoker, you're at risk for respiratory issues. The white mucus could be a sign of: - Chronic Bronchitis: inflammation of the bronchial tubes - Smoker's Cough: irritation of the lungs and airways The black mucus could indicate: - Carbon deposits from smoking - Fungal or bacterial infection (less likely) _Action Plan_ 1. _Quit smoking_: Aim to stop smoking entirely to reduce further damage. 2. _Consult a doctor_: Discuss your symptoms with a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Get a check-up_: Schedule a physical examination, including a chest X-ray and lung function tests, if recommended by your doctor.

I'm a bit stressed because it's been over two weeks and I'm still experiencing this low-grade fever that spikes over 99.8 in the afternoons and normalizes by midnight. The fever tends to increase with even a little activity and comes with a mild headache. Plus, I'm dealing with a lot of gas. Initially, I had body aches and a headache on one side. When I took a blood test after a week, my widal test was positive with s typhi O 1160 and s typhi h 180, but s paratyphi ah was nil. The thing is, the typhidot test came back negative for salmonella typhi igg and igm. I'm really puzzledis this really typhoid or could it be something else? I've been on cefixine 200, dolo650, and nexpro rd40 for 89 days now. If it is typhoid, how long should I expect this low-grade fever to stick around? I'm quite worried about all of this.
It seems like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection, possibly typhoid, given the positive Widal test results. However, the negative Typhidot test suggests it might not be a classic case of typhoid. The fever could also be related to other causes like a viral infection or gastrointestinal issues, especially with the presence of gas. Continue with your prescribed treatment, and if symptoms persist or worsen, it's essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more tests.
