Solution

Disease:

  1. Any adverse divergence from an organism's normal structural or physiological condition, typically accompanied by a few signs and symptoms and distinct from physical damage in nature,e is termed a disease.
  2. A sick organism frequently displays symptoms or indicators that point to its aberrant status.
  3. The two main approaches to treating disease are to lessen its effects and eradicate its underlying causes.

Reduce the disease's impact:

  1. Medicines are used to lessen the impact of sickness.
  2. A common cold, for example, has no cure, so treating the symptoms will help to alleviate the sickness to some extent.
  3. It is recommended to stay in bed for a while to allow the body to relax.
  4. Personal cleanliness can also help to mitigate the disease's effects.
  5. This, however, does not treat the disease's etiology; instead, it just reduces the disease's symptoms.
  6. To keep the disease from spreading, use sterilized goods and adopt a nutritious diet.

Eradicate the underlying cause of the disease:

  1. Every microbe goes through a unique biochemical life phase that aids in its survival.
  2. The consumption of specific medications that disrupt these metabolic pathways can aid in the elimination of the pathogenic bacterium.
  3. The goal is served by antibiotics.
