Suggest Me Medication For Pleurisy As Still Has Intense Pain.

I had pleurisy and was coughing for a month. I fractured rib due to this. That was 3 months ago and although the initial intense pain has gone, I am still in pain mostly the time. Should I go back to my doctor? Is there anything they can do or do I just need to be patient? Thanks

that is a pian that should wear off, however if its persistent you could visit a pain specialist, it would be ery rare to have a neuralgia of the intercostal nerve but it could happen, the treatment for that is pain management. Greetings
