Hi,

If you are having fluid retention, then drinking more fluid would mean that you retain more fluid. Fluid restriction (decreasing fluid intake) is normally required for persons who have fluid retention. You may need to be reassessed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
