Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have through your reports and I can understand the feelings of a mother.

As per your X-ray report it shows hazy infiltrates( Abnormal opacity possibly due to fluid collection) around the basal(lower) portion of her lung.
It is quite common following an episode of pneumonia and generally it will goes away by its own in couple of weeks following antibiotic therapy.
All other findings are perfectly normal and you don't need to worry regarding this.
I suggest you to take a repeat X-ray after two weeks to assess the recovery.

Hope i have answered your query.
Regards.
