Allergy to TB test??
I had a TB test on Monday. After the test my arm was sore but no bump. This morning I woke up and had an asthma attack. I have not had one of those in months. I don't even take asthma medicine anymore. This afternoon I developed hives on my face. Do you think it is from the TB? My arm is still very sore but no bump. I am allergic to a lot of things (dairy, meat, eggs, gluten). I did eat a tiny bit of milk yesterday too but that usually causes me to have more stomach issues when I eat a tiny bit.
TIA

Re: Allergy to TB test??
From my understanding of how allergies to foods work, each time you get exposed to the allergen, the reaction will worsen
IDK if I'm explaining it right but I know that my dr basically said that when I started having near anaphylactic reactions to shellfish exposure. I used to be like you and just have a stomach reaction, then it progressed to hives and now breathing.
I would take some benadryl though and make an appt with your Dr to find out if it is the TB test or the milk causing your reactions
