More Information
A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter the body, grow, and start to cause illness. These bacteria can invade various parts of the body, such as the skin, lungs, or digestive system, leading to symptoms that range from mild (like redness, swelling, or fever) to severe (such as difficulty breathing, high fever, or organ damage). The immune system usually fights off these infections, but antibiotics are often needed to help eliminate the bacteria, especially in more serious cases.
Some lifestyle changes that will combat infections:
