Regarding what medicine to take for pleurisy, it depends on the specific actual situation. If it is simple mild pleuritis without pleural effusion and only pain, generally, if the pain is not severe, medication may not be necessary. If the pain is severe, one can (under the guidance of a doctor) take oral pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen with codeine for symptomatic treatment. If there are symptoms such as fever, coughing up phlegm, pleural effusion, or even suspected tuberculous pleuritis, long-term oral anti-tuberculosis drugs are required for treatment. If tuberculosis cannot be confirmed and there are no significant symptoms, symptomatic treatment can be administered temporarily.
