Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest infection, water in lungs (pleural effusion) and persistent fever are more suggestive of tuberculosis. So get done sputum examination for tuberculosis. He will need anti-tubercular Chat Doctor. With proper treatment, TB is 100% curable. So no need to worry much, consult pulmonologist and start treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
