I swallowed a small amount of betadine gargle by accident. Should I be worried or is it nothing to be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Accidentally swallowing a small amount of Betadine (povidone-iodine) gargle is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it may cause temporary gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, due to its high iodine content

I'm really worried and need some advice. If someone accidentally takes an overdose of sleeping pills, how long does it usually take for them to wake up? Should I be doing something specific to help them, or is it better to let them sleep it off? I would really appreciate any guidance on this.
The time it takes for a person to wake up after an overdose of sleeping pills can vary depending on the specific medication taken, the amount ingested, and individual factors. In general, it is important to seek immediate medical attention in cases of overdose.

I'm really worried about my uncle who's in the hospital right now. He's on a ventilator because he has pneumonia, and it's caused infections in his liver and kidneys. His blood pressure is low and his platelet count is down too. Before this, he was being treated for TB. I just want to know if there's anything we can do to help him recover. Is there anything you could suggest that might improve his condition? It's pretty urgent.
you can take treatment
