I'm really concerned because about a month ago, I had exudate pleural effusion, and I'm still experiencing pain. Today, I had another chest X-ray, and it shows that the pleural effusion is still there. What could be causing this to persist, and what steps should I take next?

View allI'm just a little concerned after my recent visit to the panel physician. They did an X-ray and found a spot, then mentioned it might be linked to Tuberculosis. So, now I'm scheduled for a sputum test over the next three mornings. But here's the thingI've got none of the typical TB symptoms like coughing, breathing issues, or losing weight. I'm really curiouscan an X-ray actually show definite signs of TB, or is there a chance it's something else?

I'm just wondering if it's normal to still have a dry cough at this point in my treatment. Some days it's like 20 times, and other days maybe just 10 or none at all. I was diagnosed with a mediastinal lymph node through CECT and EBUS, and the cough has definitely gotten better over time, but it hasn't gone away completely. I'm about three and a half months into an eight-month treatment plan. Is the cough variation Im experiencing typical at this stage?
yes because of irritation and infection you will get cough
