Fluid in left lung

2018-01-15 07:33:37
My left lung was having a fluid which was effused out by the doctor. The test on the liquid showed negative results during culture. Lymphocytes were present in the fluid. My ecg and echo are normal. I have hepatomegaly. My hb is at 13. Currently I am suffering with cough which has not decreased even after the liquid is profused out and doctor has put me on antibiotics.

Hi Its good that fluid drained. Though lungs are free now, it will take 2 to 4 weeks time to settle the cough. Complete the Antibiotics. It will settle.
