Dear Mrs,
Your husband should take medications his doctor has prescribed. Also you should know that he should take small amounts of fluids and decrease the quantity of salt taken as low as possible.
If after that he will have fluid retention his doctor might increase the dose of diuretics (water pills) or ad another diuretic.
Wishing good health to your husband
