Answers
a)disease:-goitre
cause:-lack of iodine
b)I think that no medication was prescribed for Arun because he has adam's apple which is common in boys
The disease that Arunima was suffering from was Goiter.
In goitre, the thyroid enlarges in a way that it is a visible lump on the neck.
Goitre is a disease that is related to thyroid disorder which mainly happens due to iron deficiency in the body.
No medication was prescribed to Arun because the symptoms that were seen were not any symptoms of any disease.
Rather it was the symptoms of Adam’s Apple.
The Adam's apple, or laryngeal prominence, is a feature of the human neck.
This is the lump or protrusion.
This lump is formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx.
Adam’s apple is commonly seen in males.
