my son had a mantoux test done early last week. on friday results were negative but on the weekend he came down with very high temp 39.9 which only lowered to 39 after panadol. On sunday we went to clinic presenting with temp, headache and cough. they said it was influenza and gave ibuprofen along with the panadol. Temp is regular most of the time but still has headache and cough. He is getting his wisdom teeth pulled today as surgeon said it would be ok. Is it just influenza or could it be from the mantoux test?
Hello, It cannot be due to the Manitou test. It could a viral illness or influenza. The teeth pulling could also cause some pain and fever. You can continue the medications for pain and fever relief, which you are currently using. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
