What Treatments are Available for Edema in Toxicology?
Treatment of edema in toxicological cases focuses on both alleviating the symptoms and addressing the underlying toxicological cause. Diuretics may be used to reduce fluid retention, while supportive care, such as oxygen therapy, may be needed for pulmonary edema. In cases of severe toxicity, chelation therapy or antidotes may be required to remove the offending toxicant from the body.
