Nicole has a respiratory infection that has caused her right pleura to dry out. Describe ther symptoms that could be related to this conditon. Obviously one would be coughing, and I would assume general discomfort, but are there other symptoms?

With a lung infection, the pleura do not dry out. On the contrary, pleural effusion may occur and fluid will accumulate in the pleural cavity, leading to difficulty in breathing and specific noises like “hairs friction together”.
