Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
Montoux test is a non specific test, it is not used to make diagnosis of tuberculosis
You daughter has it positive, because she must have been vaccinated for TB after birth.
Please, don't start her on treatment for tuberculosis unless proved with other investigations.
Share with us what problems she is facing and also attach all her investigations, we would help you.
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask.
Stay Healthy
