So a monkey bit me last week, and I'm a bit unsure about what I should or shouldn't be eating right now. Are there certain foods that I'd need to avoid or be cautious about? I'm really curious to know if my diet needs to change because of this bite.

Your 40-minute run and sweating before the blood test likely impacted your fasting blood sugar reading.
Why Fasting Sugar is High
- Adrenaline and cortisol: Intense exercise triggers the release of stress hormones, which can raise blood sugar levels.
- Dehydration: Sweating can lead to dehydration, causing blood sugar levels to increase.
- Liver glucose release: Exercise can stimulate the liver to release stored glucose, increasing blood sugar levels.
Consider Retesting
Repeat the fasting blood sugar test after a period of rest and a normal diet to get a more accurate reading.

View allI'm really worried about this Widal test report I got back. It shows Salmonella typhi O and H at 180 dilutions, and Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh at 120 dilutions. Does this mean I have a typhoid infection? I'm not sure what to make of it. Could you explain what these results mean, and maybe suggest what kind of diet I should be following? I really need some guidance here.
The Widal test report indicates positive results for Salmonella typhi O and H at 1:80 dilutions, as well as positive results for Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh at 1:20 dilutions. These findings suggest a possible typhoid fever infection. Please see your consulting physician to get a prescription of antibiotics for typhoid infection. In addition to antibiotics, it is essential to follow a specific diet to aid in recovery. You should focus on consuming easily digestible foods and plenty of fluids. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains is recommended. Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy foods that may irritate the stomach. It is also crucial to maintain good hygiene practices and get plenty of rest to support your recovery. If you experience severe symptoms or complications, please seek medical attention promptly.

I'm currently on ATT treatment DOT and have had my lymph node aspirated twice. The culture and DSTMTB indicated sensitivity to all first and second-line drugs. However, the lymph node swells up again after the pus is taken out. Is this normal? I've attached a screenshot for reference. I'm taking my medication under DOT, and I have a history of TBM. For the past year and three months, I've been under treatment, and just last month, I noticed the TB lymph node. Could you provide some advice or insight into this?
no it is not normal. swelling of lymph node means there might be infection and recollection of pus
