​Signs and symptoms of weak immune system

Pravrajya Suruchi

Frequent infections: If you tend to catch colds, or other infections more often, it could be a sign that your immune system is weakened. 

Slow wound healing: If it takes longer than usual for your cuts and scrapes to heal, it could be a sign that your immune system isn't functioning properly. 

Fatigue: Feeling tired all the time can be a sign of many underlying conditions, but it can also be a sign of a weak immune system. 

Autoimmune diseases: If you have an autoimmune disease, it means that your immune system is mistakenly attacking your own body's tissues. 

Skin problems: Certain skin problems, such as eczema and recurrent cold sores, can be more common in people with weakened immune systems.

Digestive issues: A large part of your immune system is located in your gut. So, if you're  experiencing digestive problems it could be that your immune system is compromised.

Allergies: Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to a harmless substance.

Fever: A fever is a sign that your body is fighting off an infection.
