Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that positive mantoux test is suggestive of tuberculosis and should be tested further for AFB staining. Till that time I advice you should start Anti Tuberculosis Treatment under your doctors guidance and should take follow up after the AFB testing.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
