1. Dosing device having a pumping device, which delivers a medium into a pumping channel running along a pumping axis, and an applicator having at least one application opening, wherein the applicator has at least one flow channel having an outlet side at the application opening and an inlet side joined to the pumping channel, the flow channel being essentially linear between the inlet and outlet sides and being oriented transversely to the pumping channel and to the pumping axis, and wherein the application opening is positioned laterally on the applicator, and wherein a finger rest is associated with the applicator, and the pumping device includes an actuator having an outwardly projecting end that is movable relative to the finger rest, wherein the finger rest and the end of the actuator are so positioned relative to an application axis of the application opening that when at least one finger part of a user resting on the finger rest and another finger of a user located at the end of the actuator are applied below a lower lip of the user, medium can be applied to the mouth of the user. 2. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one application opening is provided in a spraying nozzle, which is located in the applicator on the outlet side of the flow channel. 3. Dosing device according to claim 2, wherein the spraying nozzle is integrated into the applicator. 4. Dosing device according to claim 2, wherein the spraying nozzle is manufactured as a separate component and joined to the applicator. 5. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein a filler is associated with the flow channel. 6. Dosing device according to claim 5, wherein the filler comprises a cylindrical filler integrated into the applicator. 7. Dosing device according to claim 5, wherein the filler is manufactured as a separate moulding and is inserted in the application opening and in the flow channel of the applicator. 8. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein the cross-section of the application opening corresponds to or is only slightly modified compared with the cross-section of the flow channel. 9. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein the application axis is parallel or at right angles to a finger rest axis of at least one finger part and the application axis is parallel to a flow channel axis of the at least one flow channel. 10. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein the application axis is oriented radially outwardly and transverse to the pumping axis and in an axially spaced manner with respect to the finger rest, and is located so that on positioning the dosing device with the finger rest and the end of the actuator below the lower lip of the user, the application opening is oriented in the direction of and level with the open mouth of the user. 11. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein the applicator includes a piston extension with the pumping channel formed therein, which in an unloaded rest position of the applicator in a radially guided manner projects at least partly and axially into an open cylindrical section of a medium reservoir. 12. Dosing device according to claim 11, including a piston plug sealing the medium reservoir. 13. Dosing device according to claim 12, including a hollow needle coaxially disposed in the pumping channel of the piston extension with a projecting tip for puncturing said piston plug to enable medium to enter the pumping channel when the actuator and the medium reservoir move toward the applicator. 14. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein the dosing device is capable of providing only a single dose of the medium, the dosing device comprising a disposable dosing device. 15. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein the dosing device is free from springs. 16. Dosing device according to claim 1, wherein the pumping channel and the flow channel together define a flow path for medium, the pumping channel is essentially linear, and the inlet side of the flow channel is joined to a first end of the pumping channel and the pumping channel has a second end associated with a medium reservoir, and wherein the joining of the flow channel to the first end of the pumping channel is the sole directional change in the flow path between the outlet side of the flow channel at the application opening and the second end of the pumping channel. 17. Dosing device for delivering a medium to a mouth of a user, comprising: an elongate applicator having an open end and a closed end, the applicator adjacent the closed end forming at least one radially oriented flow channel having an outlet side associated with a radially oriented application opening and an inlet side, the flow channel being essentially linear between the inlet and outlet sides;an elongate piston part disposed within the applicator and defining a pump channel having a pump axis oriented transversely to the at least one essentially linear flow channel of the elongate applicator, an end of the pump channel joining the inlet side of the flow channel to enable flow of medium therebetween;a medium reservoir storing a medium;an elongate actuator having an open end for receiving the medium reservoir and having a generally closed end, at least a portion of the medium reservoir and a portion of the actuator being disposed within the applicator at the open end thereof; anda finger rest disposed about the applicator adjacent the open end thereof, the finger rest being so positioned relative to the application opening that when at least one finger part of a user resting on the finger rest is applied below a lower lip of the user, medium can be applied to the mouth of the user. 18. Dosing device according to claim 17, comprising a piston plug disposed at an open end of the medium reservoir to seal the medium reservoir before use thereof, the dosing device further comprising a hollow needle mounted in the pump channel of the piston part, wherein movement of the actuator toward the applicator causes the needle to puncture the piston plug to transfer the medium through the pump channel and the flow channel to the application opening. 19. Dosing device according to claim 17, wherein the actuator including the open end comprises an actuating cylinder having the open end receiving the medium reservoir and wherein a portion of the actuating cylinder is disposed within the applicator. 20. Dosing device according to claim 19, including a spraying nozzle that is secured in the application opening, the spraying nozzle including a nozzle outlet, and wherein the actuating cylinder includes locking webs that break away when pressure is applied to move the actuating cylinder toward the applicator so that the dosing device only provides a single dose of the medium, the dosing device comprising a single use disposable dosing device. 21. Dosing device according to claim 17, the actuator including the open end comprising an actuating cylinder having the open end receiving the medium reservoir and the actuator further comprising a sleeve-like actuating member configured to move the actuating cylinder toward the closed end of the applicator to apply the medium through the pump channel, the flow channel and the application opening to the mouth of the user. 22. Dosing device according to claim 17 wherein the pump channel is essentially linear, and the joining of the inlet side of the at least one flow channel and the end of the essentially linear pump channel provides the sole directional change in the flow path between the outlet side of the flow channel at the application opening and a second end of the pump channel.
