I will suggest you to do usg chest and bronchoscopy! tb may be a possibility. But diagnosis is not so easy. When nothing is detected, treatment is based on clinical findings!

Yes you can work anywhere, after healing pleura thickens, but comes to normal by its own. You have to do deep breathig exercises to recover early.

Blunting of a costophrenic angle is the classic sign for pleural effusion. It is important to note that minor blunting may be caused by scarring or chronic atelectasis. ... An accumulation of 200 ml of fluid is necessary for the effusion to affect the lateral angles of frontal standing radiographs. In general, pleural effusions can be divided into transudates (caused by fluid leaking from blood vessels) and exudates (where fluid leaks from inflammation of the pleura and lung). The most common causes of pleural effusion are congestive heart failure, pneumonia, malignancies and pulmonary embolism.A pleural effusion is not normal. It is not a disease but rather a complication of an underlying illness. Extra fluid (effusion) can occur for a variety of reasons. Common classification systems divide pleural effusions based on the chemistry composition of the fluid and what causes the effusion to be formed. Two classifications are 1) transudate pleural effusions; and 2) exudate pleural effusions. Sometimes the pleural effusion can have characteristics of both a transudate and an exudate.
