उत्तर
- Since, the house of master X is near the toilet, and he lives in a slum area, the chances are that there is less cleanliness in that area. There are chances that he may suffer from diseases like salmonellosis, shigellosis, diarrhea, trachoma, gastroenteritis, giardiasis, tapeworm infection and thread worm infection.
- In this case, the family needs to be made aware of cleanliness in and around their houses. There is a need to explain to them the importance of a balanced diet for them and their child. Since the father is a drunkard, he needs counselling and treatment to get rid of the habit of alcoholism.
- The father of master X is a drunkard which means he might suffer from diseases such as heart diseases, liver cirrhosis, ulcers and gastrointestinal problems, brain damage, etc.
