My daughter is a little sick, she's had a runny nose for two days now, so we're staying home. She doesn't have a fever. Today her teacher said to do the Mantoux test on Friday. The teacher knows she's sick but said since there's no fever, we should do it, as the nurse told her. So, should we do it? It won't cause any problems, right?

Mine always has a runny nose, adenoids.

What's the rush? You can do it when you feel better.

My child has never just had a runny nose; usually, if a cold starts with a runny nose, it progresses to a fever, sore throat, and all the other consequences. You need to look at the type of snot: is it watery, yellowish-green, or just normal? It could be the start of an illness, or just allergies. You need to observe your child overall – you have time until Friday to monitor. My son recently got sick, and it all started with a runny nose (for 1-2 days), then came the fever and sore throat.

No, you can't. I also wanted to get the Mantoux test for my son when he had a cold, not a bad one, just a runny nose. But the doctor said to wait until he was completely recovered. We ended up getting it a week later. Nothing bad happened.

No. You're the mom and you make the decisions. The nurse comes later, and definitely not the teacher.

We did the Mantoux test a week later, once the runny nose had mostly cleared up. It was just a runny nose for us too.

Generally, you can get any vaccines 2 weeks after you recover.

The Mantoux test isn't a vaccine

My daughters had it done with a runny nose at school. Nothing terrible happened, the Mantoux test isn't a vaccine, but you know best.

Tatyana K Yes, please, consider it an exception. It can only have consequences if done to a perfectly healthy child. Just remember that any decision in this regard is your personal responsibility to your child. You owe no one else anything.
