Symptoms of right-sided pleural thickening and adhesion typically include chest tightness, shortness of breath, dry cough, hemoptysis, and chest pain. If the respiratory system is affected, it often leads to restricted breathing. Patients with right-sided pleural thickening and adhesion may be managed conservatively; however, severe cases require surgical intervention. Attention to diet is important during treatment.
