Hi, by water in the lungs I suppose you are referring to pleural effusion. It could also mean pulmonary edema but this is a serious condition. But as fluid was drawn it could be pleural effusion. It occurs in pneumonias, lung cancer, breast cancer and lymphomas. It can also occur in cardiac failure, liver failure and nephrotic syndrome. So, further therapy and prognosis will depend on the cause. If you can get back with the diagnosis, I can help elaborate further. Regards.
