How to recognize and treat an infected wound

If bacteria or other pathogens enter a wound, an infection can occur. Symptoms or signs of wound infection include increasing pain, swelling, and redness. More severe infections may cause nausea, chills, or fever.

Treatment will depend on the wound type and the infection’s extent. A person may be able to treat minor wound infections at home. However, people with more severe or persistent wound infections should seek medical attention.
