What can i use for pleuritis if i don't have a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OTC medicines: Anti inflammatory drugs like naproxyn and Ibuprofen can really help this condition. I would make sure the pain was due to pleuritis, though, because lots of serious things can cause pain in the chest and lung that you don't want to ignore!
