Symptomatic treatment is any
medical therapy of a
disease that only affects its
symptoms, not its cause, i.e., its
etiology. It is usually aimed at reducing the signs and symptoms for the comfort and well-being of the patient, but it also may be useful in reducing organic consequences and
sequelae of these signs and symptoms of the disease. In many diseases, even in those that its etiology is known (e.g., most
viral diseases, such as
influenza), symptomatic treatment is the only one available so far.
