What Is a Bacterial Infection?
3. Generalized Symptoms
With so many different types of bacteria and illnesses that can result, it takes some skill to figure out the problem. There are however certain symptoms that can indicate an infection has taken hold of the body, even before knowing which particular bacteria is responsible. These symptoms are often an immune response of the body trying to fight back against the presence and growth of the harmful bacteria.
Some common generalized symptoms that occur across most infections include fever, sweating, chills, coughs, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, headaches, and fatigue. Fever, chills, and fatigue are the most common and will occur, no matter where in the body the infection is.
