What is the net result? That is less clear. Many believe that aspirin had a negative effect during the 1918 flu epidemic though. I remember (can't find sources now) that paracetamol is considered as safe, but aspirin has to many different workings, factors or interactions to be considered - when it may help or quite the opposite. BTW. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.26514 https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.26514 ('Lowering the transmission and spread of human coronavirus'), referenced once on HN, has a table with 'nasal rinse and mouthwash gargling product's ingredients' - the best one working is Listerine Antiseptic with active ingredients (one is salicylate): Eucalyptol (0.092%) Menthol (0.042%) Methyl Salicylate (0.06%) Thymol (0.064%) Regarding salicylates (with inhalations as my personal point of view), I found out mostly about their toxicity and higher doses, except the following (2011): https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/38/Suppl_55/p825.abstract https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/38/Suppl_55/p825.abstrac... ('Aspirin inhalation treatment for COPD* patients: Preliminary studies on PK and inflammatory biomarkers') - could it somehow be relevant ((anti-inflammatory, breath-helping and.. virus killing))?
