The cause of this pain is the inflammation of the covering of the lungs where the fluid had accumulated...
The cause of fluid accumulation can be determined by the investigations sent of that fluid ..
Untill the cause is known and the disease is properly treated you will experience such pain..
As for now u can just take oral painkillers for the pain and wait for the diagnosis to be made..
