A member asked:
Can you have small pleural effusion in both lungs post pneumonia being only in left?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Effusion appears due to infection, but also when you not taking deep breaths. So, even if infection one on one side, it's hard to take breath all together. You need to do some Yoga Breathing. May cause some coughing, but may help to open up those lungs.
