Its the time when either a living or mineral protion of body either exceeds or decrease then needed quantity.
If referring to an illness, it is after the incubation period, the stage of the illness where the symptoms are the most severe, before recovery or convalesense.

Whooping cough has four stages that partially overlap: incubation, catarrhal stage, paroxysmal stage, and convalescent stage.
The period when a bacterium or virus is actively multiplying inside the body without producing symptoms of illness is called the incubation period. During this time, the individual may be unaware that they are infected and can potentially spread the infection to others.
The four stages of acute illness typically include the prodromal stage, where initial symptoms appear; the acute stage, characterized by the peak of symptoms and the body's response; the recovery stage, during which symptoms begin to subside and the patient gradually regains health; and finally, the resolution stage, where the illness has resolved, and the individual returns to baseline health or experiences complications. Each stage involves distinct physiological and psychological changes that affect the patient's experience and management of the illness.
incubation
The period of recovery or getting better after an illness.
The stages of illness typically include the prodromal stage (initial symptoms appear), the acute stage (symptoms are at their peak), the recovery stage (symptoms lessen as the body fights off the illness), and the convalescent stage (regaining health and strength). This progression can vary depending on the illness and individual factors.
study the function during the disease stage or illness
There are four stages of infection. Incubation period (first symptoms),the prodromal stage(symptom go from vague to specific), the illness stage(specific symptoms),and finally convalescence (as the infection disappears).
Incubation period refers to the time between exposure to a pathogen (such as a virus or bacteria) and the appearance of symptoms of the resulting illness. During this period, the pathogen multiplies within the body before symptoms become apparent.
During the incubation period a person is exposed to a disease may not show symptoms
