Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Chen Qirui
Acute pleurisy usually causes symptoms such as cough, sputum production, general weakness, and loss of appetite, often accompanied by chills, fever, and shivering. In some patients, chest pain worsens during deep breathing, coughing, or speaking. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, and dyspnea may develop. If fluid accumulation increases, it can further aggravate the difficulty in breathing.
