What are the symptoms of general infection?

Answer 1

Redness, high temperature at the sight, sensitivity, opaque exudate (e.g. pus) all are symptoms of local infections. Local infection can be recognised when these symptoms are present:

DOLOR: Pain

CALOR: It feels warm

RUBOR: The spot has a red color

TUMOR: The spot is (lightly) swollen

Answer 2

An infection occurs when foreign species colonize in an organism. A general systemic infection can cause aches, fever, weakness, chills, nausea, and vomiting. A local infection can cause fever, discharge with a foul odor, pus, pain, swelling, heat at the site, and redness.

Answer 3

Most infections present with fever (not always, especially in weakened immune systems and older adults), general malaise, muscle aches, sometimes GI upset like nausea/vomitting/diarrhea. Basically, you feel just generally sick. If the infection is in a specific spot, pain, swelling, warmth and redness may be present as well as puss. If it's a "cough" you may experience coughing up phlegm that either looks like puss or smells bad. The cough might be painful. Urinary tract infections often present with painful urination and the feeling like you need to go even when you just went. Organ infections often cause abdominal tenderness, sometimes at a specific point, along with general fatigue, and frequently fever. If you suspect you have an infection, it is a good idea to go see your primary care provider, even if you do not have any of the above symptoms.

Answer 4

Swelling, redness, puss, lumps, etc.
