# What's the Difference Between a Treatment and a Cure?en español: ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre un tratamiento y una cura?Medically reviewed by: Melanie L. Pitone, MDThis link will open in a new windowLearn About Primary Care Pediatrics at Nemours Children's HealthThis link will open in a new windowHealth care providers can treat medical problems and sometimes cure them. But how is a "treatment" different from a "cure"?A** treatment**is something that health care providers do for their patients to control a health problem, lessen its symptoms, or clear it up. Treatments can include medicine, therapy, surgery, or other approaches.A **cure** is when a treatment makes a health problem go away and it's not expected to come back.Some health problems have a cure. For example, to treatathlete’s foot, health care providers use special creams, powders, or sprays that kill the fungus that causes the infection.Other health problems have no cure — this means a person will always have it. When there’s no cure, sometimes a treatment can help to manage the problem. For example,type 1 diabetes is a lifelong condition. Health care providers treat it by prescribing insulin. This treatment helps keep a person’s blood sugar levels in a healthy range, but it won’t cure the disease. People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin every day for life.Scientists are constantly making new medical discoveries. It's possible that a health problem without a cure today will have a cure in the future.**Medically reviewed by: **Melanie L.
