Bilateral pleural effusion means both ur lungs contains minimal fluid in the lung cavity. Meaning there much fluid in his body unable to be pumped effectively. It can be due to kidney causes , liver causes and heart issues
In this case could be that enough urine may not be produced and let out or else heart is straining too much.

From what I understand you are located at Kerala. You could meet a physician or pulmonologist at Amrita hospital in elamakkara, Cochin.
He should be evaluated in person. An ultrasound report alone is not enough to make an assessment
