depending on how long ago you had the test done, you might have TB, but give it some time. It also depends on if you have had the TB shot before
2 :
If it does swell and is large then you do have a problem... no swelling is normal
3 :
You need to go back at your appointed time (48-72 hours after the test was placed) and have it read. Reactions outside of this time frame do not count, nor do areas of redness. The only thing that should be measured at the appropriate time is any hard, raised area
