Patients with pulmonary effusion have no dietary preference and are advised to eat light, low-salt, easily digestible foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals such as zinc and iron.
There are more causes of pulmonary effusion, and the common ones are pleurisy, pleural tumor, rheumatic disease, heart failure, lung tumor, hypoproteinemia, liver cirrhosis and so on. At this time, the physical energy consumption is large, so you need to choose some rich vitamins and zinc, iron and other minerals in food, such as apples, grapefruit, squash and other fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as milk, eggs, lean meat and other high-protein food.
It is worth noting that for some patients, such as heart failure and cirrhosis, a low-salt diet should be chosen and water intake should be limited. If the patient has pulmonary fluid, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and give targeted treatment.
