Both have their pros and cons. Different benefits. Warm saline gargles offer instant relief to inflamed mucosal surfaces and reduce inflammation. Betadine gargles offer local antisepsis and reduce progress of the disease. It depends on your symptoms. Please feel free to contact me for any further information. Stay safe
