You need to find out what is causing the fluid build up. If it is due to congestive heart failure, there are medications that can help to strengthen the heart so it pumps properly, as the result of fluid build up can be life threatening. Pneumonia can be another cause for fluid in the lungs, this needs to be treated with antibiotics as to much fluid can weigh down the tiny hairs that are in your lungs. These hairs need to be able to flutter (move) if wet and weighed down they will not move and again a serious situation can be at hand. Bottom line...find out what is causing the fluid in your lungs, somethines we feel congested but that doesn't mean that we have fluid in our lungs, it's just congestion. I am not a doctor although I have worked for doctors and from that experience I make the statements above.

Why did doctor's used to slap the bottom of a baby after delivery?
This really isn't done anymore. However, it was done in the past because it was a way to drain fluid from the lungs. By giving the baby a "smack" it would shock the newborn into crying thus clearing the mucus out the lungs. Today, doctors will use a device with a suction to help clear the throat and lungs instead of slapping.
