Blunt angle can be due to pleural effusion which can be detected on lung ultrasound. Other causes could be thickened pleura and pleural fibrosis which can cause chest pain.you have taken antiTB treatment already so there is a possibility of pleural fibrosis and its a healing process.no need to woŕy for it if there is no fluid on ultrasound.
