Could Headache, Fatigue And Soreness Be Due To Having TB Test Done?
I had to get my yearly TB test done on Friday. I have had a headache, fatigue, and soreness since. I went today to have it read and at first they thought it was positive. A second nurse said it was most likely an allergic reaction. I stilll have all the symptoms I stated above and was wondering if it could be due to the test

Hello, good to hear you. If I am your treating doctor. I advice you that headache, fatigue has nothing to do with any of the tb tests. I also want to ask for which test you have gone for tb, like there are various test sputum ZN, ESR, PCR, Genexpert etc. I want you to know me about the test so that I can add something to this test. I can add some tests like ESR make some influence when the condition is allergic. If you have any other query kindly contact me. Dr. Arun Tank
