"79 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to add 2.5 mL povidone-iodine 10% or 2.5 mL sodium bicarbonate to 240 mL of isotonic nasal irrigation twice daily for 14 days."
"SARS-CoV-2+ participants initiating nasal irrigation were over 8 times less likely to be hospitalized than the national rate."
In the very early days of the Wu-flu we got a bit of iodine on hand with the idea of adding it to masks and gloves. Seems like the intuition was correct.
This yields a 1% iodine solution and the salt is enough to keep it from burning. Very easy to make with cheap drugstore ingredients you ought to have around anyway. I woke up about 10 days ago with the worst sore throat and nose lining ever and used this three times the first day. It really relieved the pain at once, better than salt rinse, and that didn't come back.
