I have had pleural effusion some 10 months back. Around 1500 ml fluid was aspirated and I was on ATT for 8 months. I have been doing breathing exercises and yoga for the same. The pain in the left lung had decreased gradually but there are days when suddenly the pain increases. Is it ok? How much time will it take to completely heal my lungs?

It should by now get healed. The treatment consists of 6-8 months of ATT. I am sure the doctor must have tried to rule out MDRTB. Have you repeated a Xray to check whether the fluid is completely gone
