Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. Mantoux test is used for diagnosis for tuberculosis. It is a very simple test. Please do not afraid of it. It is usually suggested when the doctor thinks possibility of tuberculosis. As your mother has cough for 8-9 months, your doctor wants to see whether she is having tuberculosis. Hope this will help you. Wish your mother a very good health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
