Hi, I am 52 years male. I swallowed betadine gargle, 5 ml yesterday evening and again today morning. It was by mistake, I was supposed to take cough syrup. After realising the mistake I immediately had 2 glasses of water. I am normal now. What can I do now? Please suggest.

Mr. lybrate-user, you do not need to do anything, just relax, next time just do gargles, do not swallow it.

Generally betadine gargles is very mild concentration of povidone iodine. It should be filtered out of your body if you have normal functioning kidneys. Visit emergency if any symptoms otherwise nothing needs to be done for now.
