Pleurisy is the inflammation of the Pleura or ling of the lungs and isn't something that should be treated at home. Obviously you are having a doctors attention if you are having fluid removed and that is the best thing you can do. I would have thought they would give you an antibiotic of some kind...
My old-fashioned doctor diagnosed it right away, after 2 days of his young protoge grasping at straws and giving me Demoral for the excruciating pain - kind of like a hot poker in my side. Antibiotics right away and 5 days and nights in the recliner. Not fun. Now when I'm asked what my pain "number" is, I always refer to pleurisy as the guideline of "10".
