☆  ailment  病気

============================

An ailment is an illness that is not very serious. If you have an ailment, you can usually go to the drug store to get medicine for it, without seeing a doctor. Or, you may not even need to get medicine, just rest and eating well will be enough. Some ailments might actually be chronic, meaning that they last a long time. Here are some example sentences:

She suffered from a chronic back ailment.
The doctor is treating me for a variety of ailments.
Recently, doctors have started to consider depression as a serious ailment.
Even after many tests, they couldn’t find a cause for his ailment.

Can you use ailment in a sentence?

Bye,
