Ct scan confirmed lower left lung has fluid. had pneumonia march 4. what will happen now?? i'm so scared

Mgt/workup: It is a commonly associated finding to have a collection of fluid around the lung in association with pneumonia. If you have been treated and feel well, the fluid will most likely resolve in a few weeks. If you are having symptoms, a follow up visit may include a chest radiograph.
