Question

I'm a bit worried about my health right now. Back in August 2020, I had an HRCT chest scan to check for COVID, and although it wasn't COVID, they found bilateral minimal pleural effusion and mentioned something about an infective cause. Now I'm planning to get a single-view chest X-ray following COVID to see if anything has changed. I'm unsure if this kind of X-ray is enough to show bilateral pleural effusion if it's still there. Do you think a different type of X-ray is necessary, or will this single view be sufficient?
