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!
