Suggest Treatment For Fever And Sweating In Case Of Pleurisy

my fiance has had a fever for 9 days now. He was diagnosed w/ pleurecy. he has terrible chills, swearing profusely & now he's ONLY sweating on the right side of his body. Literally. HIs left side is completely dry & his right, even his arm, is soaking wet. He's on antibiotics & they're doing nothing.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should definitely consult pulmonologist.
He is having sweating and fever despite of taking antibiotics.
This is suggestive of worsening pleurisy.
So he should get done chest x ray to rule out pleural effusion and pneumonia (lung infection).
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your fiance. Thanks.
