Symptoms of someone who is sick are different depending on what illness they have. Symptoms are a physical or mental indication of a disease. Examples: headache, fever, runny/stuffy nose, stomach/muscle aches are most common.
One way for infectious diseases to spread is through direct contact of bacteria, viruses, or other germs. Another way is through indirect contact such as sneezing and coughing.
