Hello and thankyou for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com

My advise to you would be to drink 3-4 litres of water per day.
Try to be in supine position as far as posiible which is lying down flat on your back with your face facing upwards.
There isn't much that can be done.
When possible try and get yourself examined.

I hope this has helped. Feel free to follow up.
Thankyou
