Saying one needs to sleep on their stomach when ill.

I’ve had too much experience with respiratory infections, but one thing I’ve learned is that lying on the right side drains fluids from the left lung and lying on the left side drains the right lung.

I’m guessing the lying on the stomach does the same for both lungs at once?
