How to know if you have tb after shot?

I've heard people worry about vaccines, but from my experience and what doctors explained when I got my BCG as a kid, it's just meant to protect. If someone has actual TB symptoms like a lingering cough or fever, that's a separate concern and needs medical attention, not related to the shot itself.

Absolutely not. The BCG vaccine is designed to *protect* you against TB, it doesn't cause the disease. Anyone suggesting otherwise is spreading misinformation. If you have symptoms like a persistent cough, unexplained weight loss, or night sweats, see a doctor immediately for proper diagnosis and treatment. Don't rely on online myths for serious medical conditions.

Beta, the BCG shot given in childhood is to prevent severe forms of TB, it does not give you the disease. If you are worried about TB, you should look for symptoms like a cough lasting more than two weeks, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Don't link it to the vaccine. Go to a good doctor, they will know what tests to do.

BCG vaccine prevents TB, doesn't cause it. Any TB symptoms mean you should see a doctor.

It's really easy to get worried and connect things when you're anxious about your health. But the BCG vaccine doesn't give you TB. If you're worried about TB, look for symptoms like a chronic cough, unexplained weight loss, or night sweats. It's important to differentiate and seek professional medical advice for proper diagnosis and peace of mind.

I totally get it, health concerns after any shot can be confusing and worrying. The BCG vaccine itself won't give you TB. If you're experiencing persistent cough, fever, unexplained weight loss, or night sweats, regardless of any shot, these are symptoms that warrant an immediate doctor's visit to rule out active TB. Don't self-diagnose, please.

The BCG vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine, meaning it contains a weakened form of the bacteria, which helps build immunity, not cause active TB. If you're experiencing classic TB symptoms like a prolonged cough, fever, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss, it means you've likely been exposed to the active bacteria separately. You need to see a doctor for testing like sputum smear and chest X-ray.

This is something that worried me too after getting a booster. Does anyone else get concerned about flu-like symptoms after a vaccine and wonder if it's something more? I know BCG is different, but the anxiety is real. I just want to know if there's any chance it could cause issues.

Bhai, the shot is to prevent TB, not cause it. My little cousin got it last year. If you're feeling sick with a cough that won't go away, or fever at night, that's a sign of actual TB, not from the vaccine. Just go to a clinic, they'll check you.

A TB shot (BCG vaccine) is given to prevent TB, especially in children, it doesn't give you the disease. If you have active TB symptoms like a cough for more than 2-3 weeks, fever, night sweats, or unexpected weight loss, then you should get a sputum test and chest X-ray done. Don't worry about the shot, focus on actual symptoms and get tested.

The TB shot (BCG) is like, a vaccine, right? It protects you. It doesn't give you TB. If you're thinking you might have TB, it would be from exposure, not the vaccine itself. Look for really long coughs, fever, or losing weight suddenly. If that's happening, def see a doc.
