Solution 1:
Yes, don’t do any of these until you have a very specific reason to do each. They handle entirely different functions so cycling through each of them would be equivalent to not even refining what you want to handle.

- anti-inflammatory is for swelling
- anti-pyretic is for fever
- rest and liquids are for colds
- antiboitics are for infections
Prescribing the wrong treatment just wastes time and can cause further injury if you’re not treating the actual problem at hand.
