I've been recovering from typhoid that was diagnosed back on January 16, 2018. I don't have a fever anymore, just a bit of weakness and some leg pain. I'm wondering if it's okay to start working again. Also, is there a chance I'm still contagious? And since my typhoid relapsed after two years, is there any treatment available that could prevent this from happening again?

After washing my hair, I noticed a cut on the top left side of my ear. When I got home, my friends confirmed there was indeed a slight cut. Im really worried nowif the barber has HIV or hepatitis, is there a chance I could have contracted it through this cut? Would appreciate any advice on what steps I should take next.
Nightfall, also known as nocturnal emission, is a common and normal phenomenon. *Causes of Nightfall* 1. *Hormonal changes*: Fluctuations in testosterone levels can contribute to nightfall. 2. *Sexual arousal*: Unresolved sexual tension or arousal can lead to nightfall. 3. *Sleep patterns*: Certain sleep stages, such as REM sleep, can increase the likelihood of nightfall. 4. *Stress and anxiety*: High stress levels can contribute to nightfall. *Prescription for Reducing Nightfall* While there is no definitive "cure" for nightfall, some treatments and lifestyle changes can help reduce its frequency: 1. *Consult a urologist or sexologist*: Discuss your concerns with a specialist to rule out underlying medical conditions. 2. *Practice relaxation techniques*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises. 3. *Establish a consistent sleep schedule*: Regular sleep patterns can help regulate hormonal imbalances. 4. *Avoid stimulating activities before bedtime*: Refrain from watching explicit content, reading erotic material, or engaging in intense conversations before sleep. 5. *Exercise regularly*: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and anxiety. 6. *Consider cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)*: A therapist can help you address underlying psychological factors contributing to nightfall. *Herbal Remedies and Supplements* Certain herbal remedies and supplements may help reduce nightfall frequency: 1. *Ashwagandha*: This adaptogenic herb can help regulate stress and anxiety. 2. *Kaunch beej (Mucuna pruriens)*: This herb is believed to help regulate hormonal imbalances. 3. *Shilajit*: This mineral-rich substance is thought to help balance hormonal levels.

So I've been dealing with this TB infection in my neck for about 2 years now, and I got treated through a government dispensary, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I'm still on DOTS treatment, but the swelling on both sides of my neck and these small lumps are still there. I'm really not sure if they're lymph nodes or if the TB bacteria is still hanging around. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?

I'm really worried about the test results. The Widal test came back positive with Typhi O at 140, Typhi H at 180, and both Typhi AH and BH at 120. I'm not sure if this points to typhoid or malaria. Could you help me understand what these results mean?
Widal test results indicate a positive result for typhoid fever. The positive results for Typhi O and Typhi H suggest a recent or current infection with Salmonella typhi bacteria. To treat typhoid fever, I recommend a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest during the treatment period. Remember to consult a physician before starting any new medication.
