Question 1

I've been taking Hetrazan 100 for three days and noticed that my lymph nodes are swollen. Could this be a side effect of the medication, like maybe the diethylcarbamazine in it is causing this? I'm a bit worried about this reaction. What should I do?

Question 2

I'm really concerned because I've been on medication for the past three days, and I still have a 99.5-degree temperature. My test results showed that both typhoid and dengue IgM are weakly positive. Could there be something else going on, or is this type of fever expected? I'm not sure if I should be worried or if this is normal recovery.

Accepted Answer

You are on the right side no need to worry it takes time for the medicine to act and the infection to come under control,consume bland diet and stay hydrated.

Question 3

I'm really stressed and can't focus on anything because I'm worried. Is the p24 duo HIV test accurate if I'm testing at 21 days? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Accepted Answer

no problem

I'm trying to understand if a CT value of 31 means someone is still contagious for Covid after 14 days. The person feels great now and even had their loss of smell come back, but this CT value is 31 on their second test. Is this something to be concerned about?

A CT value of 31 is on the higher end of moderate, meaning the viral load may be low enough that the person is less likely to transmit the virus, especially if they have recovered symptoms like the return of smell.
