Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Viral infection makes the child prone to bacterial infections like pneumonia and even Primary TB.
Without seeing the x-ray it is difficult to comment about haziness in the x-ray.
Better consult pediatrician for thorough investigation and treatment.
You ask for Mantoux test as the baby is going down and becomes lean and thin.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
