9th Class Science Why do we fall Ill? Principle of Treatment

       Principle of Treatment

There are two principles of treatment i.e. either by reducing the effect of disease or by killing the cause of the disease. In the first type, we can provide the treatment, that will reduces the symptoms by giving the medicines. However, symptoms related treatments are not sufficient to cure the disease. To cure the disease we have to kill the microbes by identifying them and giving the proper drugs. Since each microbes can be killed by a specific drug, it is essential to identify them separated and induce the drugs. Each groups of organisms will have some essential biochemical life process, which are different from others. We have to find the drugs that will block the microbes synthesis pathway, without affecting our own.
