Fluid on the lungs?

My grandmother was told today that she has fluid on the lungs.
The doctor cannot yet say why but some fluid was drained and sent off to be analysed, what are some possible reasons behind having fluid on the lungs. Could it be cancer?
Thanks!

she was addmited to hospital today.

Could be pneumonia, if the doctor has not admitted her to hospital and she is not going downhill then try not to worry but keep an eye on her. Best wishes.

Could just be an infection. Hope all goes well for her.

Pnemonia & their checking to see what bacteria is causing it & what antiboitic will respond and fight to kill it so she can get better.

i know someone who had that,it was just an infection they gave him some tablets to clear it up,it is quite common,not life thretening
