If the patient has a history of pericardial effusion, it is advisable to recommend a diet high in quality protein and avoid spicy and irritating foods. However, consumption of eggs is permissible as they are rich in protein, which can supplement protein intake. During this period, supplementing with albumin can sometimes be beneficial for the absorption of inflammation and the reduction of effusion.
During this period, it is still important to maintain a light diet, especially avoiding greasy and spicy foods, while also monitoring changes in the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse. If the heart rate is too fast, sometimes active management is required.
