Viral Infections occur when viruses invade the body’s cells, hijacking them to reproduce. They commonly cause illnesses like the flu, colds, or COVID-19. Viral infections spread through contact, droplets, or contaminated surfaces. Symptoms vary based on the virus but often include fever, fatigue, and body aches. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and, in some cases, antiviral medications.
