Only positive Mantoux test is not an indication for treeatment. The patient’s clinical picture also has to be kept in mind. Please show a pulmnologist who can evaluate your mother and guide you accordingly.

Hi. I understand your concern s. Mantoux alone is not enough for making any diagnosis. Better to consult with a pulmonologist for a detailed examination and investigation like chest x ray and sputum tests.
