If it’s pneumonia and there is fluid buildup in the lungs or around the heart, medical professionals don’t do a big hydration — can make the pneumonia worse. Instead, they use diuretics, inhalants delivered through a CPAP or BIPAP, chest PT, antibiotics, and other therapies. Minimal IVs, only to deliver meds and prevent other problems.
One thing is certainly consistent, they still suck at lying.
