NSAID stands for Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug. It’s a type of medicine that helps reduce pain, swelling, and fever. Some common examples of NSAIDs are ibuprofen (like Advil or Motrin) and naproxen (like Aleve). Imagine your body is like a superhero trying to fight off bad guys (like germs or injuries).

Here’s a cool fact: According to the American College of Rheumatology, NSAIDs are one of the most commonly used types of medicines in the world to treat pain and inflammation.
