What Is Inflammation?
5. Acute Inflammation Symptoms
The symptoms of acute inflammation will typically develop rapidly, usually within just a few minutes. It can be very painful, unbearably so, and people in an emergency will often be given medication to help soothe pain caused by inflammation, among other things.
The affected area can also become very swollen, and the swelling can cause the skin to become tight as it is stretched. The area will also likely become very red, and it will also likely be warm to the touch. The patient is also likely to temporarily lose function in the affected area, and affected joints will become very difficult to move.
