Heart Failure: Watching Your Fluids. Too much fluid in your body can make it harder for your already-weakened heart to pump. Your doctor may prescribe a diuretic to help get rid of excess fluid. He or she may also suggest that you limit liquids so that your body can get rid of the extra water and sodium.

If it is due to congestive heart failure, you may receive diuretics (water pills) and other medications to treat heart failure. Pleural effusion caused by infection is treated with antibiotics.
