Its very difficult to say what more can be done as there has been no mention about her using oxygen or any ventilator.
However if the tube has been already put in then the fluid can be sent for investigations to know what exactly the nature of fluid is
Also if you say that the heart is getting big then it is probably a cardiac failure and hence the fluid in the lungs.
