How Can Fluid In The Lungs Be Treated?

Hello, my question involves cancer. I know that when you have cancer, doctors tell you that the key to fighting cancer is to take you medication. Do you have any solution to liquid in your lungs? Is their any fruit or vegetable you can eat daily, to take away the liquid in your lungs?

Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

According to mentioned history fluid in lung is because of metastasis of cancer cells in lung. Accumulated fluid can be because of pleural effusion in which fluid accumulated in pleura that is covering of lung. In such case fruits and vegetables will not help. For cancer cells killing chemotherapy advisable. Manually pleural tapping can be done for removing accumulated fluid. I suggest you to consult oncologist for examination.

Hope I have solved your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
