I was diagnosed with right sided pleural effusion in my right lung due to kochs's origin. I underwent tapping while been admitted in a hospital. And was under 6 months of medicine treatment (akurit-4 and akurit-3). I was cured completely. My x-ray reports were totally normal. Later on I also consulted a renowned pulmonologist of our city in kolkata. Going through my xray he said I was totally cured. It all happened last year. But for the past 2-3 weeks I was coughing a little bit. And for the past 2 days I am having quiet high fever sometimes. And coughing is getting very worse. I am getting uncomfortable irritation in my throat. I have smoked alot after I was cured from pleural tb treatment. Today I underwent a chest xray where it is stating that PROMINENT RIGHT HILAR SHADOW IS NOTED. But there is no sign of any effusion. Neither any active lung parenchymal lesions. Lateral costro-phrenic angles are clear as well. I also underwent dengue test where it is negative. What is reason for my fever and cough? And what does it mean by PROMINENT RIGHT HILAR SHADOW IS BEING NOTED? Have I relapsed Tuberculosis again? or is it MDR TB this time? Can it be any sort of Cancer? Or is it normal for a healed tb patient's xray?

It can be anything you mentioned and nothing just a part of fever. Need observation. Fever may be just viral.
