Mgt: The inflammation associated with pleuritic pain can take weeks to resolve. If you have trouble breathing or fever, please see your PCP.

Pleurisy: Hello ~ were you told what was the CAUSE of the pleurisy. Pleurisy is more of a symptom than a diagnosis and pleurisy, ( pain which comes from inflammation of the pleurae) or (linings of the lung) can have many many causes and any answer must take that into account. As a base principle, if you are not getting better or worse, revisit the Dr. thx
