A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pneumonia: Remains the most common cause for pleural effusions specifically in post infectious stages, with cancer and embolism or lung clots, possible, but not as frequent. Tight follow up will be needed starting with your throat pain and specialized imaging in trying to further understand the origin of your symptoms and imaging findings.
