Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having thickened pleura after pleural effusion drainage giving chest pain and shortness of breathing.
Nothing to worry, continue anti tuberculosis medicines.
After some time it will be alright.
Ask her to do deep breathing exercises.
give her high nourishing diet.
Ok and take care.
