I am suffering from cough and had gone for the treatment also from 27th march. But meanwhile they guess this as a start of T. B. So they had done mantoux test and gave a positive (16/12 mm) report. Also telling to do something gama qualifier test. So what to now. Please suggest. Emergency.

I will suggest you to get an xray chest done and also get your sputum checked for genexpert test and if you find any thing abnormal than only we should be going for tuberculosis treatment and just on the basis of mantoux test reports we should not start tuberculosis treatment.
