I assume salt water has lower side effects, so that seemed like a promising thing to check.
Why do you make that assumption? Besides the antiviral effect of it, I would expect salt water to drain H_2O from the oral mucosa. Do you think the effect is too small to matter? Do you think it’s a desirable effect?

Because I don’t believe the papers saying that iodine doesn’t alter the thyroid.
