I think before anyone gives you a recipe for a poultice, you need to give a bit of information as to WHY your lung is sore. If is from a trauma, it would need something entirely different than if it is due to pneumonia, for example.

A drawing poultice would be bread soda with salt. Its usually used for infections on open wounds but would work as well on others. If you have some tea tree oil I would add that as well. But the best thing for a sore lung is massage, try and get someone to massage the top part of your back between the shoulder blades, that will loosen any mucus and ease the pain.

You can make a poultice from bread if you need to, or a large cabbage leaf, ironed(yes!) with the heat still in it. But if the pain is in your lung and you are sure; I would advise you to seek help - your lungs do not normally cause you pain - but when they do, you can be sure there is something serious going on in there.
Or, If you have a hot water bottle, wrap it well so you skin is protected, and apply heat from that

Put a hot water bottle on that area, it will be quicker, failing that, fill a mineral bottle up with hot water & put it in a glove or wrap in a tea towel, works the same way.But, please see a doctor, just incase. xxx
