Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Since, the contour test in child is positive and there is history of tuberculosis in family, there is very much possibility of tuberculosis in child. I suggest you to do x-ray chest, complete blood count with ESR, sputum for AFB to confirm the diagnosis. If suggestive of tuberculosis then child needs to be given ATT Chat Doctor.  Tuberculosis is a treatable disease, so you should not worry much about it. I hope this will help you. Take care.
