Professional answer
Ask the doctor who handles follow-up to confirm whether fluid intake needs to be managed and for how long the advice applies. If there are specific requirements, also ask whether soup, beverages, and other liquids count, how to track them, and what situations should trigger another consultation. Do not copy fluid limits from other patients without an individual assessment.
