Question regarding pleurisy...unsure

I’ve been sick with an upper respiratory infection which has lingered for a few weeks now. I finished 10 days worth of antibiotics. I still have a cough.i have this sore achey spot on the back right side of my rib cage. Every once in awhile when I breathe in I get this sharp pain. I hear people refer to pleurisy a lot. Is that something that is constant or comes n goes? Either way if it persists I will go get it checked out. I’m just curious.

I have pleurisy quite often. If you are still having problems I would have it checked. My doctor told me to lie on the side that was hurting and this would help.

Thanks Ann. Actually, I’m going to go back to the dr this week. I can’t seem to get rid of this upper respiratory thing. I’ll post.
