Overview

Inflammation is a body's response to physical injury, infection, and other forms of stress. This response involves an increase in the production of certain chemicals that cause swelling, redness, and pain in the affected area. Inflammation can be beneficial in helping the body heal and fight off germs, but prolonged or severe inflammation can have serious health consequences such as increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes. Treatments such as corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and immunosuppressant drugs are used to reduce inflammation. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet may help reduce inflammation.
