Thank you for the query. Plerura or pleural space, is a sac like covering around our lung. It is a potential space and air, fluid and blood can collect in it. Pleural effusion implies that there is collection of fluid in the pleural space. When there is a collection in this space, the normal function of the lung (gaseous exchange) may be hampered. It would have been helpful if you would have mentioned your father's age, and whether he is suffering from any comorbidities, also whether he has any addictions (like smoking). The commonest cause of pleural effusion is infection (usually bacterial). Other causes may be tuberculosis, mitosis or conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Liver disease, kidney problems and cardiac failure also causes pleural effusion, but they mostly bilateral (both sided). It is advisable that you visit a physician or chest specialist. A chest x-ray will be needed. Some blood tests like complete haemogram will be needed, and analysis of the pleural fluid may be done. Regards.

Cold and cough are a part of growing up you teen age. There are a lot of viruses in the community and it spreads from one person to the next by coughing sneezing or contact with person or areas where they have touched. So you get it. Once you get it you develop resistance to it. It never occurs again but a different virus will produce the next cough and cold. By 30 to 40 years the frequency of cough cold decreases dramatically as you have already got good defense by the previous attacks. Medicines will only give some temporary relief. The cold and cough will go away in 14 days time in most whether you take medicines or not. So there is no need for any more worry. Some develop asthma ; sneezing ; allergy cough etc with viral fever especially in kids and then you have to get allergy doctors help. Your case it will go away soon. Do not worry for each cold/cough attack if it is mild and short lived.

You are suffering from dust allergy, take steam to clear lungs at least once a day, avoid dust and pollution, take some antiallergic safe tablet like phenargan in the evening.
