Bonjela Junior Gel

Bonjela Junior Gel can be used by children and adults over the age of 5 months. Bonjela Junior helps to relieve pain, discomfort, and inflammation caused by mouth ulcers. It can also be used to treat pain in the mouth caused by other conditions, such as cold sores and sore spots from dentures and braces.

Bonjela Junior contains different active ingredients than the adult formulation and does not contain a group of chemicals called salicylates. This makes it safer for use in children. The first ingredient is the antiseptic cetylpyridinum chloride, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. The second is the local anesthetic lidocaine, which numbs the local area where it is applied, thus relieving pain and discomfort.

Don’t use Bonjela Junior for teething problems, you should use Bonjela teething gel instead. Bonjela Junior shouldn’t be used by children under 5 months of age. If you take any medications such as propranolol, cimetidine, or water tablets (diuretics), you should discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before using Bonjela. These medications increase the risk of experiencing side effects of the ingredient lidocaine.

Some people are bound to get unwanted side effects, as with any medication. Some common ones include headaches, skin rash, and low energy.

If you have shortness of breath, swelling of the mouth or tongue, or breathing difficulty and think this could be a severe allergic reaction, you should call 911.
