Question 2

how can i get rid of water on the knee naturally?

Accepted Answer

Joint effusion: It sounds like you are talking about a an "effusion" or build up of inflammatory cells and fluid around your knee.  The treatment of "water" on your knee varies with the cause.  If arthritis is the cause, Acetaminophen or a NSAID may help.  Sometimes, your doctor can use a needle to drain this fluid.  Rarely, the fluid is secondary to an infection and requires antibiotics.  See your doctor.

Question 3

how do i get rid of water weight? besides exercise?

Accepted Answer

Reducing salt intake: The best way would be to reduce the amount of salt (sodium) in your diet.  A good goal would be around 1000-1500 mg of sodium.  You can check the amount of sodium by looking at food labels on the side of foods.  A normal diet of sodium should be no more than 2000 mg.  In actuality a western diet has much more than 2000 mg of sodium.  This would be the best way to reduce water weight.

Question 5

how do i get rid of cysts in my lungs?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Cystic lung disease has many possible causes. For some, the cysts have a genetic basis (e.g., cystic fibrosis).

A consultation with lung specialist (pulmonologist) may be helpful in determining the underlying cause and therefore the treatment.

Question 6

how to get rid of water behind eardrum?

Accepted Answer

Middle Ear Effusion: Can have several causes (ie viral infection, bacterial infection, blocked eustachian tube, lining of middle ear produces too much fluid)  and can be independent from otitis media (ome)  often happens after cold and the fluid can remain even several months after resolution of ear infection.  Important to have otolaryngologist perform otoscopic exam and diagnose cause.

Question 7

will using lozol help get rid of water?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but stop salt: No water pill will get the job done if the patient does not stop excess fluid and salt intake. Lozol and other water pills are like the plunger that you use for stopped up sink. It is very important not to pour much fluids in that sink or else the plunger may not be enough and flooding will take place. You got it! our body is the sink and the kidneys are the drain that may be stopped up sometimes.

Question 8

how long does it take to get rid of water behind the eardrum?

Accepted Answer

It is not water: The fluid in the middle ear is not water.  It is usually blood serum secondary to negative pressure from Eustachian tube blockage.  At 43 years of age it is probably the result of a viral infection.  I would wait no more than 3 weeks.  If not spontaneously resolved by then, see an ENT doctor.
