TB test ! T_T?
Question:
I am hoping to be a volunteer at a hospital and they do tb tests before starting so Is there any way that I can make this go away? or make it smaller? before I go to the hospital?
Can I put an ice pack on top of it?
Answers:
You might make it less raised or lighter in color, but what they will look for at the hospital is induration, or a hardened area of tissue around the site. You can't get rid of that. And you don't want to! TB is not something to be faked out of! If you have it, and if you've never had a positive test before, you probably do, you need to get it treated as soon as possible.
Its probably your imagination and the fact that you have been freting about it for a little while. dont worry and just let the profesional look at it to tell you. You will test 'positive' even if you dont have it and just have come into contact with a person that does have it. This happened for my ex-stepfather when he was in the military. He tested positive but did not have TB. Dont worry so much you are probably just making is worst by worring so much. just relax
