The correct answer is analgesics.

Analgesics are pain killers. It is used to relieve pain. Unlike disinfectants, antiseptics, and antibiotics that kill bacteria and prevent people from having infectious diseases, analgesics doesn't do anything to reduce the number of people who have died from infectious diseases. So the correct answer is analgesic.
