TB related fluid in the lungs, pleural effusion can cause chest pain. Since TB is confirmed, continue the full course of medication as advised. Pain should improve gradually with treatment.

Question

I am suffering from pleurisy tuberculosis and have been on DOTS for the last 3 months. Yesterday I did a USG thorax to check improvement which shows a 48 by 24 mm sized area of organized loculated pleural effusion with thick septa and pleural thickening at the right costophrenic angle. Is there any improvement in my report or is it something serious? I am still having mild fever of 99.3?
