Saline nasal irrigation and gargling in COVID-19: Part II. Outcomes in Omicron and risk–benefit for self-care by S. Huijghebaert, C. Fabbris, C. Fabbris, A. L. Baxter, S. Parviz, U. S. Chatterjee, D. Rabago

“…BackgroundThe World Health Organization recommends at-home management of mild COVID-19. While our preliminary evaluation provided evidence for saline nasal irrigation (SNI) and gargling in COVID-19, an update and risk–benefit assessment for self-care in Omicron infection is warranted, from treatment and preparedness perspectives, as new SARS-CoV-2 variants continuously emerge, while symptoms overlap with those of common colds and other upper respiratory tract infections.MethodsSystematic literature searches for preclinical and clinical studies involving Omicron infection and saline, bias assessment, and review of outcomes (benefits, risks).ResultsA total of 14 studies met eligibility criteria: one experimental proof-of-concept study, eight randomized clinical trials (RCTs), two quasi-experimental, two matched case–control, and one controlled study (2,389 patients, 1,101 receiving saline). …”
