Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Inflammation help: Infalmmation is the body's way of helping us. It sends chemicals to the site to protect and heal. After your doc checks you out, it may take some time for the inflammation to subside and he or she may offer you a medication to help with that. Peace and good health.
