No, I believe you’re thinking of “problem” in a different way.

A cure permanently relieves symptoms of a disease. The symptoms are what’s “gone and is never coming back.”

That much alone is called a “functional cure”, it’s not just a treatment.

The difference between a cure and a functional cure depends on the disease but in either case, it means it’s not coming back.

This is a surreal correction for you to make after selectively quoting the first half of my sentence. Let's look at the whole thing:

>> Usually curing would mean fixing the problem, or more specifically it would mean permanently eliminating the symptoms.

Did you have something to add to that?
