Oral and Nasal Rinse
When a person is infected with Covid-19, the virus lives in their mouth and nose and may gather strength for a couple of days before invading the body. The use of a diluted Povidone-Iodine solution in your mouth and nose is a simple way to kill the virus where it lives. This can also be used as a preventative measure by people who have been exposed to Covid-19 but are not yet sick.
It’s important to follow these directions carefully since full-strength Povidone-Iodine (also known as Betadine) is too strong and can be irritating.

- Dilute 10% Povidone-Iodine by one-tenth so that it is 1% strength. To do this, add 10ml (2 tsp) of the 10% solution to 100ml of water. This will make the solution diluted enough to use as a mouth rinse or gargle.
- Squirt 1 tsp of the 1% solution into one nostril and sniff this to the back of your throat. Spit it out immediately. Repeat with the other nostril. Use this nasal rinse twice in each nostril.
- After performing the nasal rinse, gargle at least 2 tbsp of the diluted solution for at least 30 seconds. DO NOT SWALLOW THIS RINSE. If you are iodine allergic or intolerant, or if you cannot find any Betadine, you can substitute hydrogen peroxide. (Hydrogen peroxide should also be diluted. Add 50ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide to 100ml of water to dilute.)
- You can use Listerine or Scope afterward to freshen your mouth. These products also have some virus-killing effects.
- Repeat this rinse 2-4 times a day for prevention, or up to 6 times a day with acute infection.
