Infection
Say: in-fek-shun
When germs get inside
your body, they can multiply and cause an infection. Your body's immune system fights
off the germs with special cells. It can become a full-on fight against the nasty
invaders – and you won't feel better until your body wins! Sometimes when you
get sick, it's because you have some kind of infection. If your body's having a little
trouble fighting the infection by itself, your doctor may prescribe medicine
like antibiotics to help, so just sit back, get some rest, and let your body do the
work!
