I suddenly got ulcers in my mouth. Will Betadine Gargle (povidone iodine 2%W/V) work?
Betadine Gargle, containing Povidone Iodine, is an antiseptic mouth rinse that helps reduce germs and maintain oral hygiene, which may lower the risk of secondary infection when you have mouth ulcers. However, it is not a specific treatment or cure for ulcers. Mouth ulcers usually heal on their own within 7 to 10 days, and while this gargle may offer supportive benefits, it will not significantly reduce pain or speed healing. If ulcers are very painful, keep recurring, or do not improve within one to two weeks, consult a doctor or dentist for proper evaluation and targeted treatment.
