I'm really concerned because my loved one has been diagnosed with pyelonephritis along with bilateral pleural effusion at Wockhardt Hospital on Mira Road. I'm wondering if we should seek a second opinion before starting any treatment. Do you think it's necessary to confirm the diagnosis with another doctor, or should we trust the findings and proceed with the treatment plan they've suggested? Any advice on how to handle this situation would be appreciated.
