Can you get cold and flu symptoms from a cut that has an infection in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cellulitis.: If a person has an infection of the tissue under the skin from a cut, this is known as cellulitis. If the bacteria causing the cellulitis spread to your bloodstream, it is known as "sepsis". If a bacterial bloodstream infection, this can cause symptoms similar to the flu, i.e. fevers, lethargy, fatigue, muscle aches. It is imperative that one has this evaluated by a healthcare professional.
