I got positive mantoux test as 25x27mm and according to chest ct scan report there may be a possibility of tuberculosis but i don't have any symptoms of tuberculosis. What should I do? Should I start taking medicines of tb? Because I still have doubt am I really have tuberculosis? I am not having cough, no fever nothing.

Mantoux positive doesn't mean active TB. It just means you have TB antibodies. Can be present after vaccination as well.
Next Steps
Unless you have symptoms you so not have to take TB treatment
