Pleurisy is an inflammation of the pleura, the lining surrounding of the lungs and chest. This inflammation leads to rubbing of pleural layers against each other when the child inspires the air and thus leading to sharp chest pain while coughing and taking breath inside.
Pleurisy can go away on its own or worsen so that fluid has to be drained from around the lungs. Some people develop scar tissue called adhesions after they have pleurisy. They then have chronic pain or shortness of breath.
