What Is Inflammation?

Inflammation is the body’s immunologic response to infection or injury. Redness, pain and swelling are symptoms of inflammation. Many foreign bodies also, known as allergens or irritants causes inflammation like virus and bacteria, an injury, chemicals or radiation.

When a foreign substance comes in contact with the cells, the immune cells get triggered and start releasing chemicals called inflammatory mediators like histamine. Inflammatory mediators dilate the blood vessels, which allows more blood to flow to the site of an injury and infection. Increased blood means larger number of white blood cells will be able to reach the site of the infection and more platelets and clotting factors will reach the site of injury.

Inflammatory mediators also irritate the nerve tissues due to which pain signals are sent to the brain. The pain in the inflamed site causes you to protect the affected area. Mucus glands also release more fluids during inflammation which causes swelling.
