Symptoms of oral bacterial infection are divided into local symptoms and systemic symptoms, the specific symptoms vary according to different strains of bacteria, bacterial virulence and body resistance.
1. Local symptoms: local symptoms in the acute stage of purulent inflammation are redness, swelling, heat and pain, dysfunction and lymph node swelling and pain in the drainage area. In the chronic phase of infection, a harder inflammatory infiltrate may form locally with varying degrees of dysfunction. Untreated abscess formation may rupture and form a fistula. When the body resistance is weakened or the treatment is not complete, the chronic inflammation may reoccur acutely.
2. Systemic symptoms: systemic symptoms include chills, fever, headache, general malaise, fatigue, loss of appetite. Laboratory tests show that the total number of white blood cells increases and the proportion of neutrophils rises. Metabolic disorders and multi-organ failure can occur in severe infections. Patients with chronic inflammation may show persistent low-grade fever, generalized weakness and malnutrition due to long-term chronic consumption.
When severe infection with sepsis, toxic shock can occur, should seek medical attention in time to clarify the cause of infection, do not abuse drugs without authorization.
