I'm wondering, how common is lymph node TB in India? And is it true that if someone has a relapse of lymph node TB, it always turns into the MDR form? I'm trying to understand how serious this could be.

I'm really concerned about how quickly someone with Covid-19 can spread it to others. Like, do they start spreading the virus right after they get infected, or does it take a few days? I'm trying to figure out if there's a period where they aren't contagious. Could you shed some light on this?

I'm really worried because this morning I accidentally drank some water from a can that had a dead rat in it. Can anyone advise me on what I should do now? I'm pretty scared about it, please help!

Immediately rinse your mouth and throat with clean water, then drink plenty of safe water to help flush out your system; monitor yourself for symptoms like fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, which can indicate leptospirosis or other waterborne illnesses;

I'm looking at my Widal test report and I'm really unsure about what it means. It mentions things like Salmonella typhi O and H, and also Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh, each with 120 dilutions. Can you help me figure out what these results indicate? I'm a bit anxious to understand if I need to be worried or if there's anything specific I should be doing.
