Medical cure

Hello,

How can I aid my daughter who is ill? Can I provide a medical treatment for her?

Hire a good, or preferably an excellent Court Physician in the court tab. Choose between the "safe" and "risky" option to provide treatment (Large health boost) while she is sick. Be aware that the physician might fail in his treatment and make her worse or disfigured.

Be aware that there's something wacky about the "Ill" trait. I had a daughter who was ill for 14 years. The buff for good medical treatment kept refreshing each year, but she just wouldn't get better. Eventually, the illness turned into pneumonia which cleared after a week and only then the "ill" trait disappeared. As long as a character's health is "fine" despite the illness, they shouldn't die from it. Although that was before the latest plague patch. Now, it seems, characters are dying left and right.

That said, what the user above described is the go to method. Make sure you have a court physician with good or excellent aptitude. Just the physician being there is enough to provide treatment without any additional input from you.

In the case of cancer, however, you will get periodic prompts to decide what treatment you want. I usually just leave it to the afflicted person to decide what sort of treatment they want IF they are an adult. In the case of kids, I go for the mild treatment ("do no more than necessary"). In my experience, risky treatments leave the patient mutilated.

Funnily enough, mystical treatment seems to have cured the two characters of mine who developed it. However, one of them became a lunatic some years later which may or may not be connected to the treatment.
