Answer: anti-inflammatory

destroy the pathogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anti-inflammatory drugs or medicines include substances that will reduce swelling, redness, sensation of heat and inflammation. These act as a remedy for pain. Their action involves the suppression of the pain signaling in the brain thus avoids the sense of pain. Aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are examples of anti-inflammatory drugs. Thus anti-inflammation medication will help in preventing the redness, pain, sensation of heat in the ankle.

Anti-fungal medicines are used to treat fungal infections. Athlete's foot is a kind of fungal infection. By killing and destroying the fungal pathogen the disease can be cured by anti-fungal medicine. Anti-fungal medicine destroys the fungal cell walls. This process restricts the growth and reproduction of fungal cells.
