Answer 1

Researchers suggests that we can avoid self-confirming diagnoses by all the given options.

Explanation:

Self confirming of diagnosis of a disease is actually good for a skilled person, but for general persons, it can be very dangerous and can cause severe outcomes. Different diseases have similar symptoms, but the outcomes are very different.

Some insignificant diseases like indigestion, acidity do have symptoms of loose motion, along with severe diseases like cholera, typhoid, dysentery, and acute arsenic poisoning. So its very necessary for checking the actual cause of the disease by differential tests as well as carefully classifying the symptoms by a professional doctor.
