remnants指inflammation吗？

Inorganic foreign bodies such as tablets and iron pills incite intense inflammatory response and may get dissolved over time [1, 3]. In such a situation, the airways should be examined thoroughly, and a short course of oral glucocorticoids instituted. Glucocorticoids resolve the inflammation and can enable removal of the FB remnants during a subsequent procedure.

无机异物（如片剂和铁丸）会引起强烈的炎症反应，并可能随着时间的推移而溶解[1,3]。在这种情况下，应彻底检查呼吸道，并开始短期口服糖皮质激素。糖皮质激素可以消除炎症，并能够在后续的过程中清除FB残留的炎症。

remnants是不是“残留的炎症”？说激素清除“异物残留”说不通啊？

谢谢
