Hello, I need to know something about pulmonary edema. Is morphine used to help with this condition? My father has been having problems with this illness, but has been cured fast enough. Thank God that doctor realized immediately what is going on. And he has been using several meds, including morphine.

It’s a great thing that your father is ok now. And even though it sounds like a serious condition it is not that dangerous, if discovered in time. Morphine is used here not only foot improving the breathing and blood flow but also to calm the patients who are usually very agitated in those moments.

I wouldn't have thought it wise to use morphine in lung edema, as it has a potential to cause the above as a rare side effect. I would imagine the doctor knows what they are doing though and the benefits of relaxtion in low doses would outweight any potential risk.
