What about allergic reaction from the test (tubersol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: There is no allergic reaction to the tubersol (tb mantoux) test. If there is a swelling and redness around the site of the test, it may mean that the test is positive and this has to be confirmed by your doctor who will determine what step needs to be taken next.
