NSAIDs

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs are a form of pain drug that is often prescribed to treat people with infections. However, when you take in more than the recommended dosage, they would disrupt the balance of bacteria in your digestive system. As a result, bad bacteria would grow and spread to the whole area, causing swelling and inflammation. In worse cases, those drugs would even result in bleeding in your digestive tract. [3]
