My doctor told me I have a bacterial infection. What does that mean?

Bacterial infections are caused by bacteria, which are tiny organisms that can cause illness in humans and other animals. Symptoms of bacterial infections include fever, chills, fatigue, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, and pus-filled blisters or sores. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, but they should only be used after consulting with your doctor.
