The doctor told me that i got pleurisy a few days ago and gave me an antibiotic however the tablet gives me head aches and i still have pain in ribs?

Please inform the MD: Pleurisy is very painful condition... Getting a headache on top of it is double jeopardy! please inform your md as there are other appropriate pain meds that can be prescribed. Remember if u don't tell ur doc, he might assume you are feeling better ! regards!
