This sucks. I have pleurisy. I was given a z-pak (heavy duty 5 day antibiotic treatment) and prescribed 800 mg ibuprofen 3-4 times a day. That was last Thursday. Doc said 48-72 hours and should see improvement.
The pain has definitely lessened, but I can still feel it. Overall I still feel pretty poorly which I'm not sure if it's from the pluerisy or a secondary viral or bacterial infection. My ears and sinus's were clogged and I have a cough which the antibiotic was supposed to help. Now I can kind of feel a clicking in my lung at times, and I had some heart palpitations yesterday. I'm not real concerned about it. I think it will just take a little time to start feeling better but I would like to speed up the process if I can. I'm taking lots of vitamins and drinking tons of green tea.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any specific Qigong excercises that might help, or any other home remedies that I can try to get rid of this quicker. I hate being sick!
Thanks.
