Since you had tubercular pleural effusion, chest pain is expected fir first 2-3 months.

why the pain comes?
Brief Answer:
It is due to healing.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
There are two very slim layers of pleura surrounding lungs.
Normally they are not visible and very minimal fluid is there between these layers.
When excessive, pathological fluid accumulate between these layers, it is known as pleural effusion.
Most common cause is infection.
So when with anti tb drugs, effusion start decreasing and pleural layers show healing.
And healing take place by fibrosis. And this fibrosis cause mild pain when we deep inhale or cough or sneeze.
So pleural fibrosis is the cause for your pain.
Please let me know
