I've been treated for TB last year, but I've noticed a small swollen lymph node in the past few days that's tender. Should I be worried about it coming back?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my sister. She had an exploratory laparotomy last August and was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis. She's been on ATT since September, taking Rifampin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyridoxine. She's feeling better, her appetite's good, and she's gaining weight, which is great. But lately, I've noticed her arms and hands feel warmer to the touch compared to others in the family. She doesn't feel feverish, and her oral temperature is normal around 98F. Is this something we should be worried about?
The recent onset of warm arms and hands in your sister, despite normal body temperature and overall well-being, could be related to her ongoing anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT), particularly Rifampin, which can cause flushing and warmth;

I finished my 5 doses of RABIPUR vaccine in November 2016 and got another dose on February 16, 2017. I'm really confused about how long I'm protected from rabies now. Different doctors have told me different things, like I won't need a booster for 4 months, or just 1 dose a year is enough, or even that I should take 2 doses if there's a new exposure. Today I noticed a scratch near my neck, and I'm worried if it could be from an animal, maybe a dog or a monkey, though I'm not sure. Since I already had a recent dose on 16th Feb, will that cover me for this scratch today, or do I need another booster now?
