Pleural Effusion

2020-09-03 15:34:58
I had pleural effusion on my right lung and had tapping for that and I am taking treatment for it since may... I was on AKT-4 for first 2 months and now on AKT2 for next 4 months. Its been 4 months now, but I still get sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, on hiccup, on yawning. Can you please let me know if this is an serious issue. Also, I didn't lose weight. I presently weigh 61 kg and I've gained 5 kg of weight since may.

Looking at history it’s more of pleural thickening. Nothing to worry as it’s natural course of disease healing.
