In alternative embodiments, provided are products of manufacture fabricated or manufactured as medical devices such as an inhaler, an ionizer, an asthma “puffer-like” device, a nebulizer or a nasal spray device, a respirator or a ventilator, a warm or a hot air delivery device, and/or a CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) device (for example, for managing or treating sleep apnea) or equivalent, for delivering one or a combination of medications or drugs, and optionally also warm or hot air, and optionally also ionized air. Products of manufacture are used for treating, preventing, ameliorating, slowing the progress of, decreasing the severity of or preventing a microbial infection, such as bacterial and viral infections, including the common respiratory viruses such as influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, picornavirus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, human metapneumovirus, hantaviruses, enterovirus, a coronavirus infection, or a COVID-19 or a 2019-nCoV (or so-called Wuhan coronavirus) infection, or an infection caused by a virus in the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, or a virus in the family Coronaviridae, or a virus in the order Nidovirales. In alternative embodiments, products of manufacture as provided herein administer combinations, or cocktails, of a drug or drugs by inhalation, for example, by use of aerosol, mist, liquid or powder formulations for inhalation.

Provided herein are methods of treating a peripheral nerve injury in a subject. The methods include administering to the subject at or near the site of the peripheral nerve injury an effective amount of a composition comprising an agent that promotes remyelination of the peripheral nerve. Also provided are methods of determining whether a peripheral nerve injury has a capacity for recovery. The methods include selecting a subject with a peripheral nerve injury, administering to the subject a first dose of a composition comprising and agent that promote remyelination and detecting after the first dose one or more characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery, the presence of one or more characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery indicating a peripheral nerve injury has a capacity for recovery and the absence of characteristics of peripheral nerve recovery indicating a peripheral nerve injury without a capacity for recovery.
