Overview
Treatment includes the administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents or the application of heat to the affected muscles.[1] In healthy people, pleurodynia is a harmless infection that goes away on its own within a few days. To treat the muscle pain, your doctor probably will recommend over-the-counter pain relievers. If necessary narcotic pain medication can be used. Aspirin should not be given to children with pleurodynia because of the risk of Reye's syndrome, a serious reaction causing brain and liver injury in children who take aspirin during certain viral illnesses.
Medical Therapy
The knowledge of the underlying viral cause may help prevent unnecessary medications, such as broad spectrum antibiotics.
- Treatment is often symptomatic with the use of NSAIDs
- In some cases, the use of 2% Xylocaine injected intercostally after being diluted in a solution of normal saline has proved to be useful [2]
- Especially severe cases have benefitted from the use of 16 mg of morphine or the nightly use of barbiturates [3]
