消炎药,在医学上称为抗生素,主要用来治疗细菌等致病微生物感染,如呼吸道感染、泌尿系统感染、细菌性痢疾及其他肠道感染等。人们一般认为有炎症就要用消炎药,其实这是不正确的。因为炎症中除感染性炎症外,还有一种无菌性炎症,病变部位无致病微生物,这些病大多与变态反应有关,如皮肌炎、过敏性鼻炎、肾炎、干燥综合征等。此类炎症需要抗变态反应等治疗,药物有强地松、扑尔敏等,一般不用抗生素。所以,明确诊断是使用消炎药的前提, Anti-inflammatory drugs, medically known as antibiotics, are mainly used to treat bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms such as respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, bacillary dysentery and other intestinal infections. It is generally believed that inflammation is necessary to use anti-inflammatory drugs, in fact, this is not correct. Because inflammation in addition to infectious inflammation, there is a sterile inflammation, pathogenic parts of non-pathogenic microorganisms, most of these diseases and allergies, such as dermatomyositis, allergic rhinitis, nephritis, Sjogren’s syndrome. Such inflammation need anti-allergy treatment, drugs are prednisone, chlorpheniramine, etc., generally do not have antibiotics. Therefore, a clear diagnosis is the premise of the use of anti-inflammatory drugs,
