Symptom #5: Warmth
Heat or warmth occurs when there is increased blood flow to the area affected by inflammation.
Inflammation is a response to irritants, pathogens, and damaged cells. It is the body’s attempt to clear necrotic cells, eradicate the cause of injury, and initiate the repair of affected tissues. When the inflammation is internal, there is usually no apparent increase in heat.
