I'm really concerned about whether it's safe to use Betadine 10 solution, the kind that's labeled for wound cleaning, as a gargle. The bottle specifically says it's for external use only, and I don't want to do anything harmful. Could you let me know if it's okay to use this way or if I should avoid it?

No, Betadine 10% solution, which is typically labeled for external use only, should not be used for gargling or any internal use

View allI'm getting anti-rabies shots at a government hospital because I was a bit worried that my friend's month-old puppy might have scratched me. The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?
As its given intradermally that swelling wpould appear but will subside on its own dont massage it.

I've recently got a painful hard lump on my buttock after an injection, and it's making it really tough for me to walk. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
Hi, Im sorry youre in pain. A hard, painful lump after an injection could indicate inflammation or an abscess. Apply a warm compress to reduce pain and swelling, avoid pressure on the area, and consult a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment.
