How do the anti-inflammatory suppress the function of immune system?
Anti-inflammatory drugs such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) inhibit the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase which is involved in the production of chemicals in your body such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These chemicals are involved in the inflammatory response by making blood vessels around an infection more permeable so other immune system components (such as white blood cells) are able to move from your circulation into the active site of tissue infection. By inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, the inflammatory response is severely reduced and thus suppresses the immune response at the site of infection.

1) NSAIDs (non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs) - such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxin sodium (Aleve, Naprosyn), etc. can be used to counter the body's natural inflammation response to injury or allergies; 2) corticosteroids (steroidal antiinflammatory drugs) - such as prednisone, cortisone, etc...these mimic cortisone-like chemicals secreted by the cortex of the adrenal glands...which have long-term negative side effects on the nervous system and immune system if taken for too long, but are very effective for the short-term. 3) ice (placing an ice pack, or simply ice, on a wound can help to reduce the inflammatory response, thus reducing swelling 4) antihistamines - such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), etc. can be used in cases where allergic reaction is the cause of swelling
