I understand your concern ð.
Pleural effusion (fluid accumulation around the lungs) is a **serious condition**, and recurrent effusion means that the underlying cause (infection, heart,
kidney,
liver, or malignancy) still needs attention. Ayurvedic medicines can help in **reducing fluid tendency, improving immunity, and preventing recurrence**, but they should be used **alongside the guidance of your fatherâs treating physician** (allopathy + Ayurveda integration is safest).

## ð¸ Ayurvedic View
Pleural effusion can be correlated to **âUrahshotha / Udararoga with Jalodara-type srotodushtiâ** â imbalance of *Kapha + Pitta*, weak *Agni* (digestion/metabolism), and disturbed fluid balance.
