Suggest Advice On Self Help For Pleurisy?
Can you give any advice on self help for pleurisy please? I am just beginning a course of antibiotics but would like to know if I can continue with normal activities (moderate exercise) where comfort allows, or should I be resting? I'm bored with that though after 4 weeks. Thanks
