On Friday my drain had to be pulled after 3.5 weeks because I had to come off of antibodotics, at the time it was pulled I was putting out between 40 -60 cc every 24 hours. I can not take an anti inflammatory due to a bleeding issue. Does anybody have any suggestions for reducing the pressure from the fluid build up?

It helps to eliminate excess fluid, etc. I also use it to keep my lymphatic system clean because mine is compromised after the removal of 31 lymph nodes on my left side.
