The bodies natural response to an injury is to produce inflammation. I would assume thats the bodies response from milleniums of evolution so it serves a purpose in the healing of the injury? But the general consensus is once injured we do everything we can to reduce inflammation. I don’t understand and am obviously missing info / intepreting info wrong. ELI5
Or am I on the right track and this is why RICE isn’t recommended as much any more and heat is?

We treat fever and inflammation for comfort, not for efficacy, more often than not.
Medical advice is generally not to treat fever or inflammation unless they present a risk of further injury.
