Yes Nebulisation can be given, even in High grade pleural effusion. provided pt feels better & not breathless. Nebuliser will act on lungs & it will dilate bronchus. Effusion is outside lung parenchyma, covering the lungs. Nebulisation is not the ultimate treatment, but a symptomatic reliever. Effusion needs proper investigation to rule out infective etiology, Please investigate for the same.
