What Does Fluid Retention In The Elbow Indicate?

My friend went to the doctor and they told him he had the flu bug, He was given some kind of medicine with elderberries. He woke up with this huge fluid sac on his elbow. Doesn t hurt. Could it be related to his illness or something independent of it?
