Question about Tb shots?

I just got my tb shot and where they gave it it looks and feels like a small bug bite. Do i have it or does it have to be bigger?

How long ago did you get it? It sounds like you just got it. When you get the TB test it will look like that for a little while. Then it will go down if it's negative. If it swells up more and gets really warm it may be a positive result. All you can do is wait it out for a couple of days.

The reaction has to be between 5-8mm to be considered a positive reaction. When you go back two days after the shot is administered, your physician will tell you the result.
