The body doesn't "handle" inflammations, inflammation is something the body _does itself_ in response to issues.
In the vast majority of cases you don't have to help it do anything, it's intentionally doing that. The only reason to interfere at all is if it's making you uncomfortable or actively causing you problems (the body isn't perfect, it fucks up too).
The same thing applies to fevers. The body doesn't (in the vast majority of cases) need your help getting rid of a fever, it _caused_ a fever because that's part of its immune response. If the fever is becoming dangerous, sure go nuts, but usually you're just reducing its ability to fight off an infection.
