Severe lung infections cause dangerous swelling and blood clots, making it very hard to breathe. To solve this, researchers are using inhaled heparin, a cheap medicine breathed in as a mist. It works by stopping viruses, reducing swelling, and preventing clots all at once. This treatment is life-saving because it halves the need for ventilators and is affordable for everyone. It offers a simple way to treat COVID-19, flu, and pneumonia worldwide.
