<human>: Is there a way to tell if I have a bacterial or viral infection?
<bot>: Yes, it is possible to tell if you have a bacterial or viral infection. Bacterial infections are typically characterized by the presence of pus and fever while viral infections are generally associated with symptoms such as sore throat, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and fatigue. Additionally, certain tests can be done to determine whether an infection is bacterial or viral in nature.
