Left sided pleural effusions

I was suffering from back and chest pain so I did chest x-ray as per my family doctor's advice . The report shows left cost phrenic angle is blunted suggestive of left sided pleural effusion. My family doctor has seen the report and said it's TB as water is filled in lungs of left side.
