Hi,
Pulmonary edema can be a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention. If you suspect that your father is experiencing pulmonary edema or worsening of his condition, it is important to
seek medical help immediately.
The first aid for pulmonary edema is to help the person sit upright with their legs hanging down, to ease the breathing process.
Oxygen therapy may also be helpful. If your father is already receiving medical care for his condition, it is important to follow the instructions of his healthcare provider and ensure that he is taking all prescribed medications and following recommended lifestyle changes.
As for specialist and hospital details in India, it would be best to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider for recommendations. They may be able to provide you with referrals or suggest medical facilities with expertise in treating pulmonary edema. It is important to research and choose a reputable hospital with experienced medical professionals who can provide the necessary treatment and care for your father's condition.
Treatment for pulmonary edema typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the condition, such as
heart failure, kidney disease, or
lung infection. Treatment may include medications to improve heart function, diuretics to remove excess fluid from the body, and oxygen therapy to improve breathing. In some cases, more invasive treatments may be necessary, such as
mechanical ventilation or surgery.
