my 13 year old was just diagnosed with pleurisy. will camping make it worse? . he had a chest ex ray which was normal. he is not in pain but doc heard squeking on 1 side that sometimes causesa tickling sensation on lung on that side. doc started him on antibioyic and tylenol with codene that he started today. plans of camping for 2 days 70's during the day low of 40's at night will this be bad for his condition?
assuming that his diagnosis was correct. and as long as he is comfortable and feeling better on his medications pleurisy should not be a big problem. i am a little concerned that the doctor gave an antibitoic since pleurisy is usually viral (not bacterial). i also assume that you are going with him and there are medical facilities near the location of your camping. if i had pleurisy i would rather be in my own house. on my own bed.
