Washing Illness Away: A Systematic Review of the Impact of Nasal Irrigation and Spray on COVID‐19 - Gandhi - The Laryngoscope - Wiley Online Library
“Nasal irrigation is a common treatment for sinonasal disorders; however, it is unknown if it can reduce SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal viral load (NVL). This systematic review investigated the efficacy of nasal irrigation with saline, povidone iodine (PVP-I), and intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) at reducing SARS-CoV-2 NVL and transmissibility.

Saline nasal irrigation and gargling in COVID-19: a multidisciplinary review of effects on viral load, mucosal dynamics, and patient outcomes
Saline nasal irrigation and gargling in COVID-19: a multidisciplinary review of effects on viral load, mucosal dynamics, and patient outcomes
“While it is acknowledged that a short 30-s contact of saline with the SARS-CoV-2 virus does not exhibit direct virucidal activity (131), this narrative review on SI revealed that nasal SI performed repeatedly for 1 day may lead to a significant reduction in nasopharyngeal virus load, while a repeated application for 7–10 days leads to faster viral clearance. Overall, patients with positive swab tests experienced substantial viral load reduction, became PCR-negative faster, and had milder symptoms than untreated patients.”
