Got TB skin examination AND.....?
Went to the doctor for them to check it and they said it was negative BUT that day I started getting a dry cough! Then I started to bring a cold (runny noise, sore throat) but my main issue is the cough (never had it similar to this)!
Could it be from the TB shot? Or you think I just got a cold?
Answers:
TB test aren't actually vaccines and don't even have any bacteria within them. Actually, they're quite the opposite: they test to see if you've be fighting off (or have previously fought off) a tuberculosis infection by introducing proteins slightly underneath the skin. If you've been exposed to TB (even if you've been cured of it) your body will react to those proteins by cause inflammation at the injection site. If you haven't been exposed to TB, then your body will just take no notice of it.
If you're feeling sick, it would likely be unrelated to the TB testing, itself, as, again, it's not a vaccine. You're just getting a cold or other infection, but likely not TB. If in doubt or symptoms persist/worsen significantly, telephone call your doctor for advice. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPD_test
It could be the TB shot for a couple of reasons. First reason is that when you apply the vaccine, you could take mild symptoms of the disease before the antibodies kick in and give you immunity.
The second reason is rare and simply when a mistake has been made. They may have given you the disease at "full blast". HOWEVER, you should never assume this unless you conjecture your disease is strong enough to be suspicious.
On the other hand, you could just enjoy the cold.
