What Causes Fluid In Lungs And Stomach?
My grandma has lung cancer and is in the hospital with pneumonia. Her lungs are filling up with fluid and her stomach is filling up with a pea soup looking fluid and the doctors don't know what is causing it. they have her on a ventilator and sucktion her lungs and stomach frequently. She is also running a slight fever. She is in intensive care and things look grim! Do you know any possibilities that could be causing the fluid? Or any other suggestions! We are desperate! Thank You! Jaime
