The rhinovirus; this virus is responsible for at least 50% of colds. It also cannot be cured by antibiotics since they are not affective against the common cold and other viral infections. Most Rhinovirus infections are mild and do not require any specific treatment though.


Hope this helps, have a BLESSED day!
