Do you remember the not-so-ancient times before the Internet, Facebook, Google, or smartphones? The times when you needed to find medical treatment and information, you hoped you saved that journal, book, or article in the stacks on your desk or bookshelf. But now, you can get the medical treatment and information with a click. Booking an appointment and availing of medical services at home has become more accessible. Now medical treatment services are able to manage and care for a patient to combat various diseases or disorders more effectively.

Medical treatment follows steps like consulting or counseling of patients where a physician visits and consults the patient or other licensed healthcare professional solely for consultation or counseling. The second step of medical treatment is diagnostic procedures. It is the conduction of diagnostic procedures, like if the patient needs any examinations such as x-rays and blood tests.  Furthermore, the physician can recommend treatment, like antibiotics to treat the infection; to relieve the pain a symptomatic treatment like an antalgic can accompany the treatment. For further elaboration, medical treatments can be classified as thus:
 

Preventative: Avoid the onset of an illness

Preventive care is part of our everyday routine life. It is like taking care of yourself from a particular infection or disease ahead of time, like getting a vaccination to prevent some specific illness or taking vitamins and supplements to build strong bones. Sometimes we need protection from any medical condition, viral or bacterial disease as we wear helmets and follow the traffic rules when we ride bicycles to prevent head injuries or exercise to keep our body and hearts strong.

Curative treatment: Cures a patient

The curative stage in medical treatment is the stage of leading you to everyday life again. 

• Medicines
• Surgery
• Physical therapy

Some medications are intended to kill the root of the problem, such as antibiotics, anti-fungal medicines, or antihistamines that help clear up a reaction to an allergen. The medication may be externally applied to the body, swallowed, or injected into our muscles and veins.

Palliative: relieves the symptoms of an illness

Many diseases and conditions are considered chronic, which means more than three months, or repeatedly occur throughout one’s lifetime. Palliative care is provided to patients who have severe and life-ending diseases. It relieves symptoms such as pain and gives comfortable conditions to the patient. In addition, it is an approach to care for terminally ill people.
