Hi i was diagnoses couple of weeks back. Had pain on the right side of my chest. Given Naxprofen to take twice a day. Pain is still there and sometimes quite strong . Shall I keep taking the meds? Or go back to doctors? Thanks in advance.

Hi! If you say it's been a couple of weeks now and even with the meds,you ha cc'd e seen no improvement,then most definitely go back to your GP asap,taking a autumn sample with you. Pleurisy is a nasty infection and needs to be kept under a watchful eye. Make that appointment today and also come back and tell us if any developments etc. Best wishes.
