Abstract
Compound formulations and methods for preventing or treating upper respiratory virus infections, such as influenza, respiratory syncytia virus (RSV), SARS, and SARS-COV-2, in human and animal species are disclosed. The compounds may exhibit antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or cytoprotective activities. Liquid formulations comprising one or more compounds may be administered into the outer canal of the ear for delivery to the nasal and oral cavities, nasopharynx, posterior pharynx and laryngopharynx, the primary sites of upper respiratory infections, located across the tympanic membrane (or eardrum) and eustachian tube, of the individuals infected with one or more upper respiratory viruses or other pathogens. Methods to facilitate trans-tympanic membrane translocation of the compounds by thermal, electrical or electromagnetic impulse, manual or mechanical muscle contraction or stimulation of muscles, nerves or tissues proximate to the eardrum are disclosed.
