    reduce inflammation, pain, and fever without using steroids

    Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of medications that reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and lower fever. Unlike steroids, they do not contain corticosteroids. Common examples include ibuprofen and aspirin. They work by inhibiting enzymes called COX-1 and COX-2, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins, compounds that promote inflammation, pain, and fever.
