he common cold, caused primarily by rhinoviruses, is challenging to cure due to the vast number of over 200 strains, their rapid mutation rates that allow them to evade the immune system, and the lack of specific antiviral treatments. Furthermore, the short duration of the illness, coupled with the body's immune response and the self-limiting nature of the cold, results in less emphasis on finding a universal cure.

The common cold is mostly caused by rhinoviruses, which are a type of virus. There are over 200 different strains of these viruses, and they change quickly, which makes it hard for our immune system to fight them off. Plus, there aren’t any special medicines to cure colds. Since colds usually don’t last very long and our body’s immune system helps us get better on its own, scientists don’t focus much on finding a one-size-fits-all cure for it.
