How long does it take to get rid of pleurisy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on cause: Duration of recovery from pleurisy depends on underlying cause. There are several infectious and non-infectious conditions that cause inflammation of the lining of the lungs (which is what pleurisy is). Talk to your lung doctor to understand the cause of pleurisy & discuss the duration of treatment and expected course during therapy.
