My cousin recently got a TB test and was told to look out for a reaction. I'm a bit worried for her, so I wanted to know what exactly a positive or negative reaction looks like on the skin. Any common signs to watch for?

Honestly, TB reaction is not just physical, it's a mental and emotional battle too. The fatigue was overwhelming, I felt constantly drained and worried. It took a lot to stay positive through it all, so please be kind to yourself.

Generally, a TB reaction can manifest as a persistent cough for more than 2-3 weeks, accompanied by fever, especially in the evenings, and unexplained weight loss. Also, some people get night sweats. Don't ignore these signs, get it checked by a doctor.

Agar TB reaction ki baat karein, the initial symptoms like cough and fever can be confusing. The real deal starts with the diagnostic tests like sputum test or chest X-ray. It's important to get them done quickly, some labs offer discounts, so check around before you go. Delays can make treatment more expensive.

From my experience, watch out for persistent cough, especially if it produces phlegm or blood. Night sweats and unexplained weight loss are also big signs. Get tested as soon as you notice these. Early detection is key, trust me.
