Betadine used as mouth gargle is a very dilute solution and usually not very harmful if swallowed accidentally. If your friend has any symptoms of toxicity such as vomiting, nausea, headache, convulsions then consult nearby doctor
Next Steps
Consult nearby physician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
