I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Pleural effusion occurs when fluid builds up in the space between the lung and the chest wall. This can happen for many different reasons, including pneumonia or complications from heart, liver, or kidney disease. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
