How Can The Rupture Of Fluid Be Prevented?
How will I know if it ruptures? Had it drained 4 weeks ago they removed 220mL fluid, another US today had found it has refilled to nearly 400mL. Is this dangerous and how will I know if it will rupture? Currently got a 38.2degree celcius temp but have flu symptoms also. PLEASE HELP
