When you gargle with Betadine solution, it takes time for its medicinal properties to act in mouth.
Next Steps
You can gargle with plain water after 30mins.
Health Tips
Avoid using Betadine gargle for more than 10 days in a stretch as it may stain your teeth.

After betadine mouthwash you should leave it atleast for half an hour for its action. Don't rinse or take anything for that time.

Normally betadine gargles are recommended after a surgery like wisdom tooth extraction or implant etc. They should not be used for more than 2 weeks or so. You can use a regular mouthwash instead
