How To Apply Daktarin Oral Gel:
Apply directly to the affected area with a clean finger. Try to keep the gel in contact with the affected area for as long as possible. Do not swallow it straight away.
If you are wearing dentures, remove them at bedtime and rub them with the gel. This will help prevent your dentures becoming infected as well.
If you are giving the gel to a child or infant, make sure that the gel does not become a choking hazard by dividing each application into smaller portions - never put the whole amount into the child’s mouth all at once. Make sure you place the gel at the front of the mouth.
If the infant is 4-6 months old, and is premature or has slow development or problems swallowing, check with your doctor before using this medicine.
