My former employer would love you. You got the message.

Yes, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin could be thought to be helpful, but would probably only impact individual points in downstream inflammation related to pain and body temperature; also aspirin has been associated with Reye’s syndrome and other untoward effects.

The inflammatory process is an amplification cascade, much like hemostasis and the clotting cascade (actually the two cascades interact, but that discussion is for another time). Corticosteroids act upstream in the process, are ‘natural,’ and suppress the entire immune process.
