Which type of medications are usually used to treat mild pain?

  1. a. Antibiotics

  2. b. Muscle relaxants

  3. c. Non-narcotic medications

  4. d. Sedatives

The correct answer is: c. Non-narcotic medications

Non-narcotic medications are typically used to treat mild pain because they provide relief without causing sedation or risk of addiction. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, not pain. Muscle relaxants are used to treat muscle spasms, not pain. Sedatives are used to induce sleep or calm anxiety, not treat pain. Therefore, C is the only appropriate option as the question is asking specifically about mild pain treatment.
