Dr said i've had a plueritic chest pain. i'd like to know how long this can typically last. don't know how i've got it.been 2 months now and do motrin?

2 months?: 2 months is too long - you need further testing. Pleuritic pain is usually short lived. The most common cause is a viral illness. If yours is present for 2 months, additional tests for another cause are indicated.
