Swelling-based medical conditions
Inflammatory diseases are medical conditions characterized by chronic or excessive inflammation—the body's immune response attacking its own tissues or failing to resolve after an injury heals.
This category includes arthritis, Crohn's disease, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.
She manages her inflammatory disease with immunosuppressants.
