How does a deworming paste kill an entire organism without harming the host? Do you have a grasp of the mechanism of action? Why is it unlikely that it would have anti-viral effects? My intuition is you have absolutely no idea.
Do some searching and dig in. If you spent a few days reading articles about how this works you might see a possibility of it having some benefit in this case. It's ok to read, you're not going to hurt anyone because nobody is going to ask you (or me) for your opinion on the matter, but you would at least have a basis for why you think the way you do.
