Minimal pleural effusion of 8 mm

2024-04-12 14:24:43
We recently did an abdomen scan for my wife which said minimal pleural effusion of 8 mm. We visited a pulmonologist who took a chest x-ray and said x-ray is clear. Is there anything we need to do now for this. We are worried about this as we have an infant at home
