I think it could be helped still. Tuberculosis is an illness that needs a long time to heal, some may never heal completely but, provided that their lungs still has the capacity to heal itself and can still support a patient's need for air, then it's still possible. But it entails a lot of effort and sacrifice for someone. For one thing, those who have tuberculosis due to smoking, needs to find a way to stop at all costs. I had an uncle once who had tuberculosis and was smoking. He was in the late stages but managed to be better, but after a while, he can't help but smoke again. That actually caused his death. It was a shame because he really looked healthy and good, he just couldn't stop completely

You mean the test to see if you've been exposed? That's what it looks like if you have a reaction after a few days. Right now it might just be irritated because you had something injected under your skin.

Yes, that is normal but if your skin starts molding up and gets a little bruised up and bumpy then you need to see a doctor. Take Care. :)

if you had the TB test and it swells up like that....then the doctor's going to make you take a drug for 6 months..... the claim is that the body was exposed at one point or another and you should take it as a preventive measure. it happened to me but i think it makes my hair fall out more easier now..now that im off that medicine btw that was the only time i ever took medicine for a long period of time...i usually dont take medicine at all

if you JUST got the shot it might just look like a mosquito bite because the stuff injected hasnt gotten time to disperse yet. but what everyone else said is right too
