Bonjela Junior Gel is a sugar-free, banana-flavoured oral gel designed to relieve pain and discomfort from mouth ulcers, cold sores, and brace or orthodontic irritation. It is formulated for adults, adolescents, and infants aged 5 months and older.
Active Ingredients
-
Lidocaine Hydrochloride (0.5% w/w): A local anaesthetic that numbs the painful area rapidly to provide immediate comfort.
-
Cetylpyridinium Chloride (0.025% w/w): A mild antiseptic that kills bacteria and helps prevent the sore from becoming infected.
What It Is Used For
-
Mouth Ulcers: Relieves stinging pain and reduces inflammation from standard canker sores.
-
Orthodontic Soreness: Soothes raw spots and cuts caused by braces, wires, or plates.
-
Denture Irritation: Alleviates rubbing and sore spots in the mouth.
-
Important Safety Restriction: Unlike original formulations, Bonjela Junior is NOT suitable for infant teething pain. For teething infants, doctors recommend drug-free alternatives or specific teething gels.
How to Apply It
-
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after use.
- Squeeze a small, pea-sized amount of gel onto a clean fingertip or cotton swab.
- Spread a thin layer directly over the sore area inside the mouth.
-
Do not rub it in violently; let it sit to form a protective layer.
- Application can be repeated after 20 minutes, and then every 3 hours as needed (up to 4 times daily).
