A wound will become infected if it is not treated properly. Signs of infection include inflammation (pain, heat, redness, swelling, and disordered function), pus forming due to accumulation of white blood cells, and a fever. Most wounds could be treated with antibiotics, however some strains of Staphylococcus aureus have become resistant to some antibiotics. If signs of infection are shown, a doctor must be seen immediately.
