A member asked:
Doctor told me that symptoms of pleural effusion won't go away in x ray even after treatment is it possible?

Maybe: Not sure exactly what the question is, but X-ray changes typically lag behind clinical lung disease. In other words, you can get better, but the X-ray may still look abnormal for a while. Hope this helps!
