Can pleurisy be cured

First of all: pleurisy can be cured. Pleurisy refers to the pleural inflammation caused by the stimulation of pleura by pathogenic factors (usually virus or bacteria), also known as "pleurisy". Pleural effusion (exudative pleurisy) or no fluid accumulation (dry pleurisy) may be accompanied. After the control of inflammation, the pleura can return to normal, or two layers of pleura adhere to each other. The main clinical manifestations were chest pain, cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and even dyspnea.

Secondly, antituberculous drugs are suitable for the treatment of tuberculous (dry or exudative) pleurisy. Isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and streptomycin were used alternately. The total course of treatment was 6-9 months. Non tuberculous pleurisy should be targeted at the primary disease (such as infection, tumor, etc.) to choose the appropriate drug treatment. Purulent pleurisy or tuberculous empyema with infection were treated with penicillin. The use of drugs needs to be determined according to the patient's condition, and patients should use drugs under the guidance of doctors.

Finally: combined with anti tuberculosis drugs, it has a positive therapeutic effect on eliminating systemic toxic symptoms, promoting absorption of effusion and preventing pleural thickening and adhesion. Prednisone can be taken orally. When the systemic symptoms are improved and the effusion is obviously absorbed, the dosage should be reduced gradually for 4-6 weeks.
