Which category of medications is used to treat inflammation, redness, swelling, and pain?

Anti-psychotics
Antidepressants
Antihistamines
Anti-inflammatories

The correct answer is: Anti-inflammatories

Anti-psychotics (A) and antidepressants (B) are used to treat mental health conditions and have no effect on inflammation, redness, swelling, or pain. Antihistamines (C) are primarily used to treat allergy symptoms and may help with itching or sneezing, but they do not have direct anti-inflammatory properties. Anti-inflammatories (D) are specifically designed to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, making them the most appropriate category of medications for treating these symptoms.
