Anti Bacterial

What are bacteria and bacterial infections?

Bacteria are tiny organisms that live all around us. While many are harmless or even beneficial, some bacteria can cause infections like pneumonia, food poisoning, or skin wounds. These harmful bacteria enter the body through cuts, the mouth, airways, or other openings, where they can multiply and trigger illness.

Symptoms of a Bacterial Infection

Signs of a bacterial infection depend on the type and where it occurs but may include:

• Fever or chills
• Fatigue or weakness
• Swollen lymph nodes (neck, armpits, groin)
• Headache
• Nausea or vomiting
• Redness, swelling, or discharge from wounds

If you have severe symptoms or they worsen quickly, contact your doctor immediately.

Causes of Bacterial Infections

Bacterial infections happen when harmful bacteria enter the body and multiply. They can spread through:

• Open cuts or wounds
• Contaminated food or water
• Direct contact with an infected person
• Touching contaminated surfaces

People with weakened immune systems are at greater risk.

How to prevent Bacterial Infections

Prevention is key. Reduce your risk with simple habits:

• Wash your hands regularly with antibacterial soap
• Use antibacterial wipes when soap isn’t available
• Cover cuts or wounds with clean dressings
• Avoid sharing personal items (e.g., towels, razors)
• Practice good dental hygiene with antibacterial mouthwash
• Keep surfaces clean at home, especially in kitchens and bathrooms

Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or recommend further testing.
