A symptom is like a little message from your body. Imagine your body is a big, busy city. Sometimes, things in the city don’t work perfectly, like a traffic light being broken. When this happens, the city sends out a signal to let everyone know something needs fixing. In the same way, when something isn’t quite right in your body, it gives you a symptom to tell you there might be a problem.
Think of your body as a big orchestra. When every instrument is playing perfectly, the music sounds beautiful. But if one instrument is out of tune, it can make the music sound strange. That out-of-tune sound is like a symptom—it’s your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s not quite right here!”
Imagine your body is like a garden. When all the plants are healthy, everything looks green and beautiful. But if a plant starts to wilt or turn yellow, that’s a symptom showing that the plant might need more water or sunlight. Your body does the same thing, giving you symptoms to show that it might need some help to feel better.
