The seven primary signs of an infection include:
⚠️Fever: A body temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher indicates that your immune system is fighting off germs.
⚠️Chills and Sweats: Shivering, coHld feelings, or heavy sweating often accompany a rising fever or an active systemic response. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC
⚠️Fatigue or Malaise: Unusualk tiredness, low energy, or general body weakness occurs as the body directs energy toward the immune response.
⚠️Redness, Swelling, and Warmth: Localized inflammation—especially around a cut, scrape, surgical site, or burn—shows that blood and immune cells are rushing to the area. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC
⚠️Pain or Tenderness: Increased soreness, throbbing, or discomfort at a specific wound site or inside the body (such as a sore throat or abdominal pain) points to tissue irritation or damage.
⚠️Pus or Unusual Drainage: Thick yellow, green, or foul-smelling fluid coming from a wound or sore is a clear indication of a bacterial infection.
👍Swollen Lymph Nodes: Enlarged and tender lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin mean your immune filters are actively trapping and fighting foreign pathogens
