Medical (general)
Swish and swallow 1 milliliter medicine three times a day.
The dictionary meanings for swish does not seem to fit here. Could you guide me about the same? Also, whether it is possible to access proz on mobile phone because it is a very useful and indispensible website?

: Something is not quite right here... 1 MILLILITRE of medicine is barely enough to wet the tongue, I can't see how it could be "moved around the mouth" or "sloshed about"... :)) Or perhaps I'm missing something... :)

rinse
Rinse your mouth with the medicine and then swallow it. In other words, make movements with your mouth so that the medicine is distributed all over and then swallow it.
