Step-by-step explanation
Analgesics reduce or abolish pain without causing impairment of consciousness, mental confusion, incoordination, paralysis or some other disturbances of nervous system.
Tranquillizers are a class of chemical compounds used for the treatment of stress, and mild or even severe mental diseases. These relieve anxiety, stress, irritability or excitement by inducing a sense of well-being. They form an essential component of sleeping pills.
Treatment for acidity was administration of antacids, such as sodium hydrogen carbonate or a mixture of aluminium and magnesium hydroxide. However, excessive hydrogen carbonate can make the stomach alkaline and trigger the production of even more acid.
An antipyretic is a substance that reduces fever. Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override a prostaglandin-induced increase in temperature.
Hence,
| (A) | Antipyretic Reduces fever |
| (B) | Analgesic Reduces pain |
| (C) | Tranquilizer Reduces stress |
| (D) | Antacid Reduces acidity (Stomach) |
