In One Glance
The immune system defends the body from germs. First, barriers like skin and mucus help keep germs out. If germs enter, immune cells recognize them and respond by attacking invaders and coordinating signals. Inflammation and fever can be part of the response, helping slow germs and support healing. Afterward, the immune system can remember some germs, which helps future protection. The story keeps details simple and focuses on reassurance and healthy habits like rest.
