Depends on cause: Most pulmonary edema is actually a cardiac issue and the treatment involves improving the heart's performance. Non-cardiac edema has many causes usually from inflammation caused by infection or trauma. It is not curable, but is treatable and can resolve without permanent injury in some cases.
