Does Pneumonia Cause Water Retention In The Body?
Hello, In pneumonia, as your friend clinically improving, it is suggestive towards recovery. In pneumonia, pleural effusion can occur and with proper antibiotic treatment it can be resolved. Mild pleural effusion is not a problem. If pleural effusion more, then pleural tapping is needed. Provide your full reports as attachment for giving more comment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Parth Goswami
