A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pleurodynia: Or pain with breathing can. be from infectious pleuritis - a viral illness causing inflammation of the layer of tissue that covers the lungs - aka pleura. This causes pain with breathing as the lungs expand and rub against the inflamed pleura. It resolves with time . Ibuprofen may help .
