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.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with typhoid fever for about a month now and I'm on antibiotics, but around 10 days ago I developed a sore throat and it's just not getting any better. Can you please give me some advice on what's going on with my sore throat? I'm really concerned about it.

Sore throat is usually not related to Typhoid but may occur. Please see a doctor who will examine your throat and advise you accordingly.

I met a 40-year-old lady in Dubai, and she ended up performing oral sex on me. I was wearing a condom, but at one point, I sucked on her left nipple for maybe a minute. I'm not sure about her HIV status; she seemed like a prostitute. I can't really remember if any breast discharge got into my mouth, but right after, I rinsed my mouth with water. Then, about five minutes later, I brushed my teeth with toothpaste and swallowed. I'm really concernedcould I have contracted HIV from this encounter? It's been 71 days now, and I had two different rapid tests, both came back negative. Should I be worried about getting infected?

Very minimal risk of you getting infected,no need to get yourself checked once in a year and try to have safe and protected sex
