There could be different reasons for it. Sometimes its not a major issue and can be due to thickening of the covering of your lungs (as a result of the fluid) and sometimes it could be because the disease has not been treated. Its best to get an Ultrasound Chest; it will let you know if you still have any fluid left. In any case you would have to visit a doctor with the investigation.
It's better to get uscan chest done if there is fluid . get pleural fluid aspirated and get tested for AFB CULTURE, CS, GENE EXERT, and AFB smear . To see if it's active t.b. mdrtb or something else.
