I personally use covixyl, costs about $20 a bottle, one bottle a monthish. I also keep a bottle of xlear handy, but it's more like a sinus wash, I rarely use it. I've been thinking about trying the iota-carrageenan, but I buy covixyl in bulk to save a few bucks and have another couple bottles left. Avoid anything that relies primarily on povidone or claims it's sterilizing your nasal passages. Also note that the FDA has been getting angry at some of these sprays claiming not be drugs/inactive while claiming to be preventatives. I know covixyl got a letter about that earlier this year.

That's great info, thank you so much
Covixyl looks promising considering it has both ELAH and xylitol. How often do you reapply, when you're out all day?
Welcome! They say it lasts up to 6 hours. So I tend to do it 2-3 times a day. NGL though, when someone in the house is sick I probably do it every few hours.
