I've been dealing with some lymph nodes under my neck on the right side. I've been on TB medication for 6 months since my FNAC said it was TB, and now those nodes are nearly gone. But just a few days ago, I noticed a new lymph node swelling up, similar to the others from before. Should I be thinking about changing my meds now, or is it normal? Can you give me some advice?

I'm really worried because my father-in-law just tested positive for COVID-19. His report says "RESULTS Positive" but there's also something called "Bio Ref Interval" that shows as "Negative." Can you help me understand what that means? Is this related to a stage of COVID-19, or does it indicate something else?

The "Bio Ref Interval" being negative typically indicates that the test result falls outside the reference range for a negative result, confirming the presence of the virus. As for COVID-19, it doesn't have specific "stages," but the severity can vary from mild to severe, and it is categorized based on symptoms and clinical findings, such as mild, moderate, severe, and critical. It's important to monitor his symptoms and follow healthcare advice for appropriate management.
