Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query.
Even though pleural fluid is completely clear you need to complete at least 6 months of anti-tubercular drugs but this time regimen should be changed. Otherwise there is every chance of recurrence. Better you consult another pulmonologist but never ever stop ATDs.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dr Arnab Maji
