The symptoms of microbial infections vary depending on the type of microorganism and the part of the body affected. Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and localized pain or swelling.

Medications used to treat microbial infections are specific to the type of microorganism causing the infection. For bacterial infections, antibiotics are commonly prescribed. These medications work by killing the bacteria or inhibiting their growth. Antiviral medications are used to treat viral infections, and they work by interfering with the virus’s ability to replicate. Antifungal medications are used to treat fungal infections, and antiparasitic medications are used for infections caused by parasites.
It’s important to use these medications as prescribed by a healthcare professional to ensure their effectiveness and to prevent the development of resistance.
