Dr. Sun Qifeng
Pleural effusion can be absorbed with the help of exercises such as practicing Tai Chi, walking, and breathing exercises. However, if the amount of fluid is large, exercise alone may not lead to resolution, and medical treatment or surgical intervention at a hospital will be necessary. During this period, it is important to avoid overexertion, get adequate rest, and refrain from eating greasy foods.
