Inflammation is our body's normal mechanism to healing. It is a complex cycle of biochemical actions which concentrate white blood cells (WBC), platelets, and growth factors to infected region to let our inbuilt cleaning and restore functions to do their job. When we apply RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and anti-inflammatory medicine we reduce pain by covering the inflammatory cascade, but in this way we suppress healing. Try to avoid anti-inflammatory medication because it will worsen it.
