Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Pleural effusion is a collection of fluids in the pleural space.
The treatment depends on what has caused the effusion and how much of fluid there is.
Also, such things cannot be treated by consulting online.
Consult a pulmonologist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
