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?

View allI noticed an oval-shaped cystic lesion in my left temporal region with a long coiled echogenic structure moving inside it, and my doctor suspects larva migrans. I've been taking Bandy plus tablets and the swelling has reduced a lot, but I'm wondering if I should see a worm specialist to avoid surgery. Which type of doctor should I consult for this?

I'm a bit worried because I've been bitten by a dog, and I'm not certain if the dog has been immunized. Should I consult a particular type of doctor in this situation? And is it possible to check if the dog is vaccinated for rabies before I need to get any shots myself?
you: *Immediate Steps* 1. *Wash the wound*: Immediately wash the bite area with soap and water. 2. *Apply antibiotic ointment*: Apply an antibiotic ointment to the affected area. 3. *Seek medical attention*: Visit a doctor as soon as possible. *Consulting a Doctor* 1. *Primary Care Physician (PCP)*: You can start by consulting your PCP, who will assess the wound and provide guidance on further treatment. 2. *Emergency Room (ER) Doctor*: If the bite is severe or you're experiencing symptoms like fever, chills, or swelling, visit the ER. 3. *Infectious Disease Specialist*: In some cases, your doctor may refer you to an infectious disease specialist for further evaluation and treatment. *Rabies Vaccination* 1. *Assessing the dog's vaccination status*: If possible, try to determine the dog's vaccination status. If the dog is up-to-date on its rabies vaccination, the risk of transmission is lower. 2. *Getting the dog checked*: If the dog's vaccination status is unknown, it's recommended to have the dog observed for 10 days. If the dog remains healthy during this period, the risk of rabies transmission is low. 3. *Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)*: If the dog's vaccination status is unknown or the dog is not available for observation, your doctor may recommend PEP, which includes immediate vaccination against rabies and administration of rabies immunoglobulin.

I'm really worried and could use some advice. It's been 9 months since I had unprotected sex, and I've been tested for HIV three times, each time after 3 months. All the results have come back as "Non-Reactive." What exactly does that mean? I'm just so anxious thinking I might have HIV or AIDS. Could you please help me understand this situation?
It's okay to be concerned, but your non-reactive HIV test results at 3, 6, and 9 months are reassuring, as they indicate you are not infected with HIV. If you still feel anxious, consult a doctor for further guidance or counseling to ease your worries.
