 Treatment for more severe cases may include aspirating the excess bursa fluid with a syringe (draining of the bursa), or injecting into the bursa a hydrocortisone type medication which is aimed at relieving the inflammation and preventing further accumulation of fluid.In case of infection, the bursitis should be treated with an antibiotic.If the fluid continues to return after multiple drainings or the bursa is constantly causing pain, surgery to remove the bursa is an option.
