Hi doctor, I have mouth ulcers on my gums, and I was prescribed Kenacort 0.1% (triamcinolone acetonide) oromucosal gel. Can you please guide me on how to properly apply it? Do I just put the gel directly on the ulcers, or should I rub it in? Also, after applying, should I spit it out, or is it okay to swallow it? What happens if I swallow it by mistake?

To apply Kenacort 0.1% Triamcinolone Oromucosal Gel for gum ulcers, you should wash your hands thoroughly before applying the gel. Take a small amount of gel on your clean fingertip. Gently apply the gel directly onto the affected gum ulcer. Avoid rubbing the gel vigorously, just spread it evenly over the ulcer. Allow the gel to remain in place and avoid rinsing your mouth or eating/drinking for at least 30 minutes after application. Do not spit out the gel after application, let it stay on the ulcer to provide relief. If you accidentally swallow a small amount of the gel, it is generally safe. However, try to avoid swallowing it as much as possible to ensure maximum effectiveness for the ulcer. Remember to use Kenacort 0.1% Triamcinolone Oromucosal Gel as directed by your healthcare provider for the recommended duration.
