why does your body get achy when you are sick?
In: 3557
Imagine your body is like a superhero team, and the superheroes are called “immune cells.” When you get sick, it’s like bad guys called “germs” are trying to cause trouble inside your body. The superhero team works together to fight the bad guys and protect you.
During this battle, your immune cells send out little messages, like walkie-talkies, to communicate with each other. These messages can also tell your body to make things hot (a fever) or make you feel tired, so you can rest and save energy for the fight. Sometimes, these messages also cause your body to feel achy or hurt in different parts.
These aches and pains are like your body’s way of saying, “Hey, we’re working hard to fight the germs! You should rest, so we can do our job even better.” So when you feel achy or hurt when you’re sick, it’s just your superhero team doing their best to protect you.
