SYMPTOMS : they are manifestations or evidences of the presence of diseases. symptoms are in the forms of structural and functional changes in the body or body parts. they indicate that there is something wrong in the body, e•g.,wound with pus, cough, cold, loose motions, pain in abdomen,headache, fever.symptoms do not give any exact cause of the disease. for instance, headache is due to some dozen different diseases. there may be problem of eye sight, blood pressure, examination and other stress, meningitis, etc. SIGNS: there are definite indications of the disease. on the basis of symptoms, physicians search for definite clues or signs of the disease. for this, they use certain instruments and even go for laboratory tests to pinpoint the cause of the disease.
