Brief Answer:
Yes you can travel by plane.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Your pain is due to pleurisy which you have had along with bil airspace infection. You are already taking all the required medicines and from your description it seems you are on the way to recovery. There is no harm in travelling by air.You may take a pain killer just before starting your journey. You should be fine.

Hope this answers your query.

Take care.
