- The immune system’s response to an actual or imagined infection.
If you develop a fever, a rash, or allergy-like symptoms, your body’s immune system may be reacting to a real or imagined intruder. This can result in flare-ups in which the immune system assaults its own healthy cells, causing the majority of your body to feel as if it is going haywire and a wide variety of symptoms that are too numerous to list in one place.
Appendicitis is occasionally brought on by an immune system flare-up. If you already have appendicitis, a weakened immune system or immune system response will make the infection’s symptoms much more severe. This is extremely hazardous to your health.
If something has triggered an immune response in your body, look for symptoms such as persistent fever and schedule an appointment with your physician. Find and treat the underlying cause before it has a chance to affect other regions of the body.
