Correct Option (D)

Heartburn and indigestion can be treated with antacids. Antacids can be purchased without a prescription over the counter. To alleviate symptoms, antacids work quickly to reduce stomach acid. The underlying causes of heartburn and indigestion are not addressed by antacids.

Option (A) Analgesics, also known as painkillers, are medicines that treat a variety of pains, including headaches, injuries, and arthritis. Opioid analgesics alter how the brain perceives pain, while anti-inflammatory analgesics reduce inflammation. A few analgesics can be purchased over the counter, others require a solution.

Option (B) Anti-microbials are meds used to forestall and treat bacterial contaminations. When bacteria change in response to the use of antibiotics, this is known as antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, not humans or animals, develop resistance. These bacteria have the potential to infect both animals and humans, and their infections are more difficult to treat than those caused by bacteria that are not resistant. Increased mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher medical costs are all consequences of antibiotic resistance.

Option (C) The symptoms of allergies, such as hay fever, hives, conjunctivitis, and reactions to insect bites or stings, are frequently treated with antihistamines. They can also be used to treat insomnia and prevent motion sickness for a short time.
