What Causes Coughing Up Of Clear Liquid While On Keytruda?
Hi- my Dad is being treated with Keytruda (he has stage 4 melanoma) and has been coughing up clear fluid. He had pleural effusion before starting the treatment. He has not had a scan for a while one is due in two weeks. Could he still be coughing even if the treatment is working? Thanks.

Hello,
It is unrelated to melanoma.
You can consult a pulmonologist and plan for a CT thorax for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
