Infection response

Infection response is how your body's immune system reacts when harmful germs like bacteria or viruses invade. It detects these invaders and activates defenses such as inflammation, increased blood flow, and the production of specialized cells and chemicals to fight and eliminate the infection. This process helps contain the threat, repair damaged tissues, and restore health. Symptoms like redness, swelling, warmth, and pain are part of this natural response, signaling that your body is working to protect and heal itself.
