saaukstēšanās, common cold, ir vīruss, ar ko cilvēki neprot vēl tik galā, vienīgais, kas ir iespējams, ir mazināt simptomus (kas nav ārstēšana).

There are currently no medications or herbal remedies which have been conclusively demonstrated to shorten the duration of infection.[38] Treatment thus comprises symptomatic relief.[39] Getting plenty of rest, drinking fluids to maintain hydration, and gargling with warm salt water, are reasonable conservative measures.[14] Much of the benefit from treatment is however attributed to the placebo effect.[40]
