I'm really concerned about my husband's situation. He's 33 and has been dealing with pleural effusion TB. It's been about a month and a half since he started taking the ATS 9 medication, but his chest pain hasn't gotten any better. The current chest X-ray shows almost all the fluid is gone, which is good, but the chest pain hasn't changed since before he began the meds. Should I be worried that the pain is still there, or is there something else we should be doing?

take pantop 40g for 3 days if it doesn't resolve do and ECG AND CHEST X Ray then proceed fruther
