Q: my son mistakenly took 5ml of 2% w/v povidone- iodine gargle accidentally. kindly advice?

: It is difficult to give advice without knowing more details, including the age of your son and exactly what was swallowed. You could either call your doctor or call poison control for advice. They will ask all the details and then tell you what to do. If he is sick, go to the nearest ER. Good luck to both of you.
