The feelings and signals caused by an illness are known as symptoms. The symptoms of an illness vary from one sickness to another, and can either be very mild or extremely severe. These symptoms are our bodies’ way of telling us that something is not right, and you need to get treatment or give your body special care so it can recover properly. A few symptoms of common illnesses include:
