If you come home after being outside and suddenly develop a fever,
If a child suddenly has a headache and fever,

You should go to the hospital immediately.

Even a small wound on the skin can become infected quickly, leading to blood poisoning.
In such cases, the skin may turn dark red or black.
If the infection spreads into the blood, yellow pus can form, and in severe cases, the infected area may need to be surgically removed.
Go to the hospital immediately.
With proper treatment—an injection, medication, and rest for a few days—recovery is possible.
However, if you delay going to the hospital, the situation can become dangerous before treatment starts.
