anti-inflammatory
Reduces bodily swelling
Anti-inflammatory describes substances or treatments that reduce inflammation—the body's response to injury or irritation characterized by swelling, redness, heat, and pain.
As a noun, an anti-inflammatory is a medication with this effect, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
The doctor recommended an anti-inflammatory for my swollen knee.
These drugs work by blocking chemical signals that trigger the inflammatory response, providing relief for conditions from arthritis to sports injuries.
