Suggest Treatment Of Sore Throat

My son accidentally swallowed some of the Betadine Sore Throat gargle. It s the concentrated one that you use 1ml betadine to 20ml water. He probably swallowed up to half of it. He seems fine. Do I need to worry about it, as I know you re not supposed to swallow Betadine. Thanks

For treatment of sore throat you can take some antibiotic preferably Azithromycin 500 after an expert opinion along with cofdex or sneezy for throat congestion or discomfort. You can take syrup bro-zedex or syrup ambrodil-s along with chlorhexidine or betadine gargles. Do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation to reduce the congestion and soreness.
