Could a simple salt water rinse ease your COVID symptoms?

NCT ID NCT04382131

Summary

This online study tested if frequently rinsing the nose and gargling with salt water could help adults with early COVID-19 symptoms feel better faster. Participants in the UK were randomly assigned to either do the salt water rinses along with standard advice, or just follow standard advice alone. The goal was to see if this simple, at-home method could reduce symptom severity and possibly lower the chance of spreading the virus to others in the household.
