hello, sometimes the test results are false negative,but in case of your daughter chest x-ray should also be prescribed to rule out lower respiratory tract diseases.sometimes it does happen that the patient symptoms are vague that it is difficult to rule out the cause in such cases all base line investigations should be carried out and chest xray is also one of the base line investigation.
