A member asked:
Should i worry about small atelectasis and small pleural effusion in my lungs 6 weeks after pneumonia? i'm worried
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal: These changes are typical after pneumonia, but should resolve within 6-12 weeks. Ask whomever was treating you for the pneumonia about the need for a follow up chest X-ray in a couple months. Hope this helps!
