Answer 1

The common cold is caused by a variety of viruses, and finding a cure for each specific virus is extremely difficult and time-consuming. Additionally, the common cold viruses mutate and evolve rapidly, making it even more challenging to develop a cure. Therefore, current treatments for the common cold mainly focus on relieving symptoms and supporting the immune system's natural response to the virus.
