If you drink water a lot, and gargle with warm water, salt, and vinegar, it will eliminate the virus, before it can reach the lungs.

Here's another trick, I just told it to my doctor and he thought it was a great idea, hadn't heard of it before, but...

Get one of those aerosol saline nasal sprays. When you have the slightest hint of a "post-nasal drip"....spray and inhale the mist, irrigating that upper respiratory passage behind your nose, where the pain occurs. You can spit it out after a few seconds.

There's no other way to get at that vulnerable infection area, including gargling.

It doesn't cost much, is not a drug, it won't hurt you, and it works very well. I've nipped many a cold in the bud with this. That and a bunch of Vitamin C.

My doctor actually recommended this to me years ago. Haven’t had a sinus infection since. Not one to do the netti pot myself. My store was out yesterday. Think word is getting around.

Silver Biotic gel in the nose seems to clear sinuses immediately.
