Why Is My Daughter's Tongue Hurting?

Hey, my 3 year old daughter has been complaining since Wednesday that her tongue was hurting. She will not eat anything and she hasn't ate in 4 days, today makes day 5. I am very concerned about this. My mama took her to the doctor on Friday and they swabbed her for strep and that was negative. She has a white patch on the roof of her mouth. I'm not sure what to do or what it could be?
