The doctor ordered me to gargle with Betadine as my throat has been bothering me for more than a week. I asked if my regular green mouthwash would do but she said Betadine would be more effective.
I get a bottle, ignoring my mental barriers about the brand being more known for treating wounds and as a feminine wash.
Povidone-Iodine preparations. For wounds: 10%. Feminine wash: 7.5%. Gargle: 1%.
When I poured out some to gargle… blech! The taste was ok but it was the same blackish thing that bleeds orange at the sides. I will have to steel my mind as I gargle with this beautiful liquid for the rest of the week.
And yeah, I have to rinse my sink after each gargle.
