Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Most common cause for pleurisy is lung infection. So in my opinion, you should get done chest x-ray first. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry much. Do following things for better symptomatic relief. 1. Start painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  2. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.3.
