Overview

Medical Therapy

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, your doctor may prescribe narcotic pain medication. 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.
