What happens when you get a tuberculosis shot while having a cold?
The other day my mom got a tuberculosis shot, but she had a cold. Now the spot where they gave her the shot is red and bumpy. She wanted to know if that's normal or if that's something that's not suppose to happen?

The cold should not affect the test. She should go ahead and follow up for the test reading as scheduled. Reactions before or after the time frame where the test is read do not count as a positive reaction. However if it is still bumpy where she had the test placed the nurse will want to measure the area to see if it qualifies as a positive result
