  • COVID-19 infection especially now with the threat of Omicron variant poses a serious risk to patients and - due to its contagious nature - to those healthcare workers (HCWs) treating them. Even when vaccinated and we left ourselves off guard without a mask, transmission can still occur and vaccinated people get the breakthrough infection.
    Theories abound that If the mouth and nose of patients with infection are irrigated with antimicrobial solutions, maybe transmission can be minimized or prevented and at the same time infection controlled on site.
    However, no strong recommendation as yet from health authorities on the use of such antimicrobial solutions as there are no firm studies to support its use.
    So what are the date regarding the safety of the mouthwash and nasal spray for the prevention of Covid 19?

    Is bactidol not ok to use? It is Also antiseptic..
    Only povidine betadine mouthwash and nasal spray?

    I had a strong exposure recently. I used betadine nasal spray and gargle. I stayed well. Funny how much resistance there is to this simple safe defence. People would rather be sick than gargle. Oh well. Humans are complex.
    Thank you doctor.

    Again after extended exposure in the house all of us remained Covid free after Gargling and using vicks first defence nasal spray. As you say in addition to all other recommendations.
    The person who tested positive also followed the gargle and nasal spray regime. Much less symptoms than those also infected around us. The infected person forgot to do these measures and to mask. . 🇨🇦🌞thank you for this thoughtful reflections

      Look into Novavax if you can get it. Much safer, not mRNA, and still best vaccine against all variants.
