In severe cases, local redness, swelling, heat and pain are accompanied by chills, fever, headache and other symptoms. Through timely antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment, redness and swelling can subside, but sometimes inflammation causes tissue proliferation, leaving a small induration. If inflammation can not be controlled in time, spread to lymph nodes and adhesion, serious cases can form abscess. If not treated in time, it can cause sepsis.
