New research suggests that gargling and rinsing your nasal passages with a saline solution may help keep you out of the hospital.
For the study, Espinoza and his colleagues tested whether salt water gargling was effective in treating COVID-19. Between 2020 and 2022, they assigned 58 people with COVID-19 to gargle salt water at either a high or low dose of salt. They compare their findings with nearly 9,400 COVID patients from the general population.
The findings are to be presented Thursday at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology annual meeting, in Anaheim, Calif. Findings presented at medical meetings are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
