I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.

my close family member has spinal TB affecting the L4 and L5 discs and is getting treated with surgery and a 9-month medication course - can this disease spread to others at home or is it contagious

Spinal tuberculosis, or Pott's disease, is generally not directly contagious in the way that pulmonary TB is. The infection typically spreads through the bloodstream from a primary infection, often in the lungs, to the bones and discs in the spine.

I'm really worried about my brother who's had a fever for about a week now. The fever comes and goes and our family doctor suggested a Widal test. His results came back with S. typhi O 180, S. Typhi H 180, S. Paratyphi AH 120, and S. Paratyphi BH 120. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Could you tell me if it looks like he has typhoid?

report it normal but it will not exclude the possibility by 100% because there may be false negative , consult physician and show the report
