Right lung pleural side pain & coughing
Hello,
I have completed my six months TB medication on this May 12, 2022 ( I was diagnosed with moderate pleural effusion in the right with underlying lung collapse) however, I am still having mild pain in the right side consistently and whenever I sleep I cough out little phelgum. Sometimes I feel difficult to breathe too. Why is it so?
