[|Human|] Hi, Today i had my CT and doctor suspected that there is small amount of fluid in my left lung .Now he has suggested to go for an ultrasound so that he can make sure whether the fluid is infected or not.I am suffering from fever for 3 weeks with cold and cough.
[|AI|]  HelloFluid in pleural cavity may be due to many reasons like pneumonia, heart,liver problem etc. You are rightly advised for ultrasound. It can detect even mild/minimal amount of fluid which might not be detected by X-rays. Ultrasound guided aspiration of fluid can be done, and it can be sent for routine and culture examination. It may be due to lung problem in your case. You may need antibiotics. Tuberculosis should also be confirmed in non-responsive cases. Mild amount of fluid can be absorbed by our body with treatment of underlying cause. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
