Introduction
一般来说，抗生素属于消炎药，而消炎药包括抗生素。但是，消炎药不一定都是抗生素，消炎药是针对解热镇痛的；而抗生素的最大作用是杀灭细菌，又叫抗菌药。通常情况下，消炎药指抗细菌Medicine，能杀死细菌或抑制细菌生长、Treatment细菌感染的Medicine。
In general, whether antibiotics are anti-inflammatory drugs depends on the cause of the inflammation. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The details are as follows:
1. Yes
When inflammation is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics can reduce the inflammatory response by killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria. In such cases, antibiotics do play an anti-inflammatory role and can thus be considered anti-inflammatory drugs.
2. No
If inflammation is caused by viral infections, autoimmune diseases, allergic reactions, or other non-bacterial factors, antibiotics are not effective in directly treating the condition. In these cases, antibiotics cannot be regarded as anti-inflammatory drugs.
To avoid unnecessary harm to the body, it is advisable to use medications under the guidance of a qualified physician. During treatment, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eating a balanced diet, and enhancing immune function can support recovery.
