1. About chlorhexidine

Chlorhexidine is usually a safe medicine if you follow the instructions that come with it. However, do not use more than the recommended dose. If your baby is having difficulty feeding, or appears uncomfortable with signs of thrush, they may need some simple treatment. If your child is over four months old, speak to your pharmacist who may recommend an oral gel if they judge that treatment is necessary.
