Betadine Sore throat gargle??

[Visitor6]

Absorption of Iodine by infants can cause hypothyrodism with repeated exposure. Even if you don't swallow it can be absorbed by the mucous membranes of your mouth and throat and transmitted in breast milk.

A single dose may be ok.

Salt water gargles are pretty effective too.

Ask your pharmacist is the safest bet for ongoing care.

That might help.

Thanks guys, I didn't have any. Gargled some salt water, yuck!
Now I'm sick, happened really quickly, got a really high temp last night so must be fighting it off. Going to the Dr today. I hope DD doesn't get it. She slept next to me all night, wouldn't go in her cot, I faced away from her at least.
