What Is The Treatment For Chest Pain And Pressure Due To Pleurisy?
My daughter is 20 and was having chest pain and pressure (only symptoms) she was diagnosed with pleurisy. She was given celebrex and never fully felt 100 percent. That was 2 months ago, now for the past week the sypmtoms have returned full force.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
For pleurisy pain to reduce your daughter need to take ibuprofen tablet 400 mg twice daily after food for 7-10 days along with pantoprazole tablet 40 mg twice daily before food for the same duration. Go for a chest x-ray straightway to exclude associated pleural effusion and if present the cause will be investigated and properly treated.
Thank you.
