Politics operates at a level beyond the common senses of public.
Sure that would be great but if USA offers aid, it could be viewed as an insult as if they are unable to handle things themselves and with that - pride comes into play (often does with country politics).
If Iran asks for help, they would probably have the USA low down on that asking list and again, pride also comes into play.
But let's put all that aside and ask the question: what could the USA do that Iran could not do currently in this situation?

Edit: Seems like the US will only consider that if they can use it to attack the Iranian government: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/30/us/politics/us-iran-sanctions-aid.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/30/us/politics/us-iran-sanct... ("opened access to medicine for cancer and organ transplant patients", I guess other medicine is still subject to sanctions)
