  1. This is a tall order. You need to ask a professional. I suggest a doctor of medicine, that is a GP.


  2. a disorder is a functional abnormality or disturbance.

    a syndrome has no specific test to diagnose, a doctor looks at the symptoms to come up with a likely diagnosis.

    condition is a more general term, i.e. "heart condition" "skin condition", indicates something wrong but tends not to be as specific.  

    infection is bacteria attacking the human body, i.e, if you cut yourself and bad bacteria enters the wound, it will attack the wound causing infection.  infections are normally treated with antibiotics.

    virus is similar to infection but they use your cells to replicate in and are unresponsive to antibiotics.

    disease is anything that impairs normal bodily function
