I was diagnosed with minimal pleural effusion 1 month ago. The doctor aspirated the fluid(all the fluid that was present) and the entire process  was ultrasound guided. The amount of fluid aspirated was 60 ml It was tested. ADA count was 24. Lymphocytes was 60%. and Histiocytes 30% and Neutrophilis 10%. Also there were no malignant cells found. Also I did lots of other tests like TB PCR, BLOOD SUGAR, LIVER TEST. Results of everything were normal. The doctor advised me to take CHYMORAL FORTE TABLETS. He also suggested me to do deep breathing exercises. But its 1 month and I am still facing the jabbing of my left rib cage and left side of the back. The pain sometimes increases unbearably in night when I am sleeping. Can you please suggest me some medicines and diagnosis.
Hey there, According to history you provided it seems some sort of reactionary fluid in your chest you had. See its very common to have chest pain on side of effusion due to some fibrosis there. Still get done chest X-ray and if no fluid is there, just forget the pain.
