Description

Bonjela Junior Gel is designed to calm and soothe painful mouth ulcers and minor mouth irritations in children. The gel forms a protective layer over the affected area to help reduce discomfort while supporting natural healing. Bonjela Junior Gel is easy to apply and acts directly where relief is needed.

  • Helps relieve pain from mouth ulcers
  • Soothes sore and tender areas inside the mouth
  • Anti-inflammatory action to reduce swelling
  • Sugar-free formula suitable for children

Directions

Apply a small amount of Bonjela Junior Gel to the affected area using a clean fingertip. Gently massage Bonjela Junior Gel into the sore area and avoid eating or drinking immediately after application. Bonjela Junior Gel can be used every three hours if necessary, up to the recommended maximum daily applications. Always supervise children during use and follow the instructions provided in the leaflet.

Ingredients

Bonjela Junior Gel contains choline salicylate, which helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain, and cetalkonium chloride, which acts as an antiseptic to help protect against infection. The formulation of Bonjela Junior Gel also includes flavouring agents and other excipients to create a smooth, easy-to-apply gel.

The full list of ingredients is provided on the packaging and in the patient information leaflet. Check the ingredient list carefully if your child has known allergies or sensitivities.

Warnings

Do not use Bonjela Junior Gel if your child is allergic to salicylates or any of the ingredients listed. Bonjela Junior Gel should not be used in children under the age specified on the packaging without medical advice. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not apply more frequently than recommended.

If symptoms persist for more than a few days, worsen, or are accompanied by fever, consult a healthcare professional. Keep Bonjela Junior Gel out of sight and reach of children.
