I'm really worried right now. My mother-in-law recently passed away due to a cardiac arrest, but after her death, we found out she was COVID positive. I'm not sure what I need to do next or what precautions I should take to protect myself and my family. Any advice would really help.

View allI'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 based in Pune and have been dealing with Tubercular Lymphadenopathy for the last 9 months, but I can still feel swollen nodes on the left side of my neck. I'm worried because even after all this treatment, the size hasn't gone down. Could you recommend a well-experienced specialist in Pune who can help me with this?
Ideally the swelling also should come down,as it is still persisting, visit Physician for follow up and appropriate treatment.

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.
