Answer 1

Principles of Treatment

There are 2 ways to treat infectious diseases

1)Reduce the effect of the disease

2)Kill the cause of disease

To reduce the effect of disease we provide treatment that will reduce the symptoms.The symptoms are because of inflammation.

We can take medicines that bring down fever,reduce pain or loose motion,take bed rest.

Such a kind of symptom- directed treatment is inadequate.Since it will not make the pathogen to go away.For that we have to kill the microbe itself...

Answer 2

There are two ways to treat an infectious disease:

One would be to reduce the effects of the disease and the other would be to kill the cause of the disease.

For the first one we can provide treatment that may reduce the symptoms of the disease. For example, we can take medicines to bring down fever. We can take bed rest to conserve more energy.

But this kind of symptom-directed treatment by itself will not make the infecting microbes go away so the disease will not be cured completely.

One way to kill microbes id by taking medicines. We have to find a drug that blocked the bacterial synthesis pathway without effecting our own.
