Inflammatory conditions are health issues characterized by the body's immune response to injury, infection, or irritation. This response often leads to symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the affected area. Common examples include arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. These conditions can be acute, occurring suddenly and lasting a short time, or chronic, persisting for a long duration. Treatment typically involves medications like anti-inflammatory drugs and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Understanding these conditions is essential for effective management and care.
