Tubercular lymphadenitis gland TB can cause swelling in neck glands and significant weight loss if not treated properly. Since your weight has dropped from 40kg to 30kg, it is important to complete the full TB treatment course. Ensure you eat well high protein foods, fruits, and fluids.

I have a CBC test and peripheral smear test today. I had sex at 3 AM today, and my blood test is scheduled in 4 to 5 hours. Should I postpone it until tomorrow, or will it not affect my results? Please help.

My wife delivered a baby six months ago. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing regular fever up to 102F, along with headache and body pain. We have tested for COVID 19 (RT PCR) and malaria, both of which were negative. We also consulted a gynecologist to check for any breast lumps, but none were found.
