I'm trying to figure out how to use this povidone iodine germicide gargle. I visited the ENT hospital, and they gave me some Betadine. How do I use it properly? Is there anything specific I should know or be careful about when using it?

To use povidone iodine germicide gargle, such as Betadine, follow these instructions: Dilute the Betadine solution with an equal amount of water before using it as a gargle. Gargle with the diluted solution for 30 seconds to 1 minute. - Do not swallow the solution; spit it out after gargling. Use the gargle as directed by your healthcare provider, usually 2-4 times a day. Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after using the gargle. This will help in reducing bacteria and germs in your mouth and throat.
