Can inflammation go away on it's or does it have to be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, and depends: Inflammation is the body defense mechanism to harmful stimuli characterized by redness, swelling, pain, and warmness. Mild inflammation does not require treatment and will go away by itself. Inflammation due to infection should be treated. Sometimes, inflammation in the delicate organs such as eye should also be treated.
