Please share a tip in the form of a haiku on dealing with pleurisy.

Ignore: The most common treatment for pleurisy is to treat the pain with a strong anti-inflammatory.

Ignore: Pleurisy can be serious. Consult MD for shortness of breath, coughing blood, or fevers.

Ignore: Obtain a clear diagnosis and cause first. Most are viral and self limited. Treatment follows this.

Ignore: Chest pain with breathing. Anti-inflammatories can help you inhale.

Ignore: Lung lining inflamed? Ibuprofen for you. Rest will also help.

Ignore: Haiku should not be any type of diagnostic or first line treatment for potenital pleurisy.

Ignore: Make sure it IS pleurisy! See your doctor. Take medications (non-steroidals) as prescribed.

Ignore: My chest hurts while breathing, without blood palpitations or fever... I take ibuprofen.
