Suggest Remedy For Fluid Build Up In The Lungs
My brother had a procedure done to remove fluid from his pericardium back in December. He recently had a another procedure to remove some of the sack and the doctors found mass around his heart and found a tear in one of his arteries which they stitched. He was released last week now he is back in the hospital with fluid in his left lung and the doctors don't know why the fluid is building up and don't know if it's from his heart. Why can't the doctors figure out what's going on? It's been almost 3 days.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The possible reason for fluid buildup in lungs is infection in lung or reactionary action to the pericardial procedure.
In our clinic, we suggest to take CT scan thorax to evaluate it further precisely and manage perfectly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
