Nasal Irrigation after positive Covid -19 test reduces hospitalizations 19x

Should be shouted from the rooftops by our government but it won’t be.

Down voter is either...

A) concerned that this news might prevent one person from getting vaccinated and should be suppressed, or

B) thinks covid doesn't exist and sees no need for preventatives.

I expect government agencies and multiple media outlets to write articles about the dangers of nasal irrigation and why it’s not recommended today.

No doubt there's dangers with using an unclean nasal irrigation system. But, you're absolutely correct that we'll see 10x articles on serious bacterial infections from incorrect use and maybe 1 on how to maintain a safe and effective system.

Coincidence or Factual, it's interesting. Is it the same osmosis principals that work with some bacteria in cells?

Muh saltwater.

Florida Man pours saltwater into his nose and drowns. Blumpf's fault.

So a saline nasal rinse and some over the counter aspirin beat COVID. Got it.

The ER in one hospital I worked had a woman expire from using tap water. She died from an amoeba that gained access to her brain.

Not saying this is a bad idea at all but common sense is required.

I wonder if a neti pot would work. Doesn’t get as deep as the Navage system but still flushes the outer sinuses.

Not much good can come from laying motionless in a hospital bed for more than a few hours, ever

That's what I was referencing.

Aug 4, 2021 FDA article (maybe good for posterity in case the narrative changes)

Along with other nasal irrigation devices, these devices — commonly called neti pots — use a saline, or saltwater, solution to treat congested sinuses, colds and allergies. They’re also used to moisten nasal passages exposed to dry indoor air. But be careful. Improper use of these neti pots and other nasal irrigation devices can increase your risk of infection.

Tap water isn’t safe for use as a nasal rinse because it’s not adequately filtered or treated. Some tap water contains low levels of organisms — such as bacteria and protozoa, including amoebas — that may be safe to swallow because stomach acid kills them. But in your nose, these organisms can stay alive in nasal passages and cause potentially serious infections. They can even be fatal in some rare cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
