Detailed explanation-1: -There is no cure for colds; there only is treatment of symptoms, which can last anywhere from two days to two weeks. “Rhinovirus mutates very quickly and comes in many varieties, and for this reason, doctors are unable to make a vaccine to fight off colds as we can for the flu, ” says Dr. Foxman.
Detailed explanation-2: -It has been difficult to manufacture vaccines to prevent the common cold because it is caused by several viruses. The effect of vaccines for preventing the common cold in healthy people is still unknown. The evidence is current to 26 April 2022.
Detailed explanation-3: -yet there is no vaccine. The fact of the matter is that the common cold has over 100 types of viruses that can cause it, and because of this, it is extremely difficult to develop a drug or vaccine that will be effective against every virus. Plus, viruses can evolve very rapidly, making matters even more difficult.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wash your hands often with soap and water. Wash them for 20 seconds, and help young children do the same. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Viruses that cause colds can enter your body this way and make you sick. Stay away from people who are sick.
