Will full bottle of povidone iodine cause toxicity?
Soaking feet in povidone iodine for half an hour shouldn't cause toxicity. Washing it off afterward is normal. Stomach pain, vomiting, or metallic taste in the mouth indicate iodine toxicity. However, these symptoms are unlikely from your brief exposure. Avoid prolonged soaking in the future.

Why is my body temperature rising daily?

My Ceftriaxone Injection Site Swelling - What Next?
This issue can arise when the medicine unintentionally enters surrounding tissues instead of muscle. Apply a warm, damp cloth to the affected region - this should help ease discomfort and reduce swelling somewhat. Keep the area clean, and watch closely for potential signs of infection like redness, excessive warmth, or pus formation. However, if symptoms intensify or you start feeling ill overall, it's crucial to promptly seek professional medical evaluation.
