I recently had a mantoux test done and now, 48 hours later, there's this 20mm red and swollen area where the injection was given. I'm a bit worried about what this might mean health-wise. Any insights on this?

I have two oximeters and I'm getting different readings from them. One shows 95 and the other shows 98 when I use them on the same finger. I'm not sure which one to trust. My friend's oximeter once showed 92 for me, but when I went to the hospital and checked with the electronic screen, it always showed 98. How can I figure out which reading is accurate?

Saturation less than 92. .Patient is advised pulmonologist opinion immediately.Symptoms nclude dizziness,headache,breathing difficulty and bluish discolouration of skin and mucous membrane.
