I'm dealing with a sore throat and I'm wondering if it would be better to use Betadine Gargle or if just a salt water gargle is enough?

I'm trying to figure out how to get a medical fitness certificate because I need one to start at my new job. I know it has to be from a registered medical practitioner, but I'm not entirely sure what qualifies someone as one. Can anyone who's a doctor give me this certificate, or are there specific requirements or types of doctors I should be looking for? Would really appreciate some guidance on this!
