Pain and swelling are common symptoms that often indicate inflammation or injury within the body. They serve as protective mechanisms to alert individuals to potential harm and initiate healing processes.

Pain And Swelling

Common symptoms

Inflammation is the body's complex biological response to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective attempt to remove the injurious stimuli and initiate the healing process. While acute inflammation is a vital part of the immune response, chronic inflammation can contribute to various diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.

Inflammation

Injury within the body

Protective mechanisms are strategies or processes that organisms, systems, or individuals use to shield themselves from harm or adverse conditions. These mechanisms can be biological, psychological, or structural, and they play a crucial role in maintaining stability and promoting resilience against external threats.
