is there any way to get rid of pleurisy? and what are the causes of pleurisy
Answers
If the cause is viral, pleurisy may resolve on its own. The pain and inflammation associated with pleurisy is usually treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others). Occasionally, your doctor may prescribe steroid medication
Causes
Viral infection, such as the flu (influenza)
Bacterial infection, such as pneumonia.
Fungal infection.
Autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
Lung cancer near the pleural surface.
Pulmonary embolism.
Tuberculosis (TB)
Rib fracture or trauma.
Pleurisy treatment depends on the underlying condition causing it. In some cases, pleurisy goes away on its own without treatment. Your treatment options might include: Draining the pleural space: Doctors remove air, blood, or fluid from the pleural space.
