Treatment of pleurisy

Anyone with pleurisy has a number of treatment options available.

Pleurisy symptoms can sometimes be relieved simply by resting. Some doctors will recommend strapping the chest with a firm adhesive elastic bandage, but this might also prevent deep breathing and coughing up of mucus, which can both help clear the respiratory tract.

Painkillers may sometimes be appropriate. They help relieve the discomfort that comes with coughing. Cortisone drugs and anti-inflammatory medications can be effective in reducing the inflammation and therefore the pain that comes with pleurisy.

Quick attention to any symptom of a lung problem is the best prevention of pleurisy.
