I'm a bit worried because I've had pleural effusion in my right lung and got it tapped. I've been on treatment for it since May, starting with AKT4 for the first two months and then switching to AKT2 for the next four. It's been four months now, but I still feel a sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, I haven't lost any weight; in fact, I've gained 5 kg since May and weigh 61 kg now. Any advice on what might be going on?

View allI'm dealing with a constant sore throat and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. It's weird because I feel really irritated by dust. Lately, I've been getting tired easily when I exercise or even just walk. I'm 26 and there's no asthma history in my family. I had a PFT test done and it showed mild restriction and low vital capacity. What could this mean, and what might be causing it?
Do breathing exercises, drink warm water , inhale steam 5 times a day , avoid allergens

I'm reaching out because I previously asked about this and got a response saying that the Seretide Accuhaler has no side effects. But my brother has been using it, and he's having a tough time with what seem to be side effects. I'm really worried and wondering if there's an alternative treatment he could try. Can you help with some advice?
