Question
A 2.5-year-old child received pediatric umbilical wind powder from the hospital, but the parents did not inquire about the usage and dosage from the doctor. What is the recommended dosage of pediatric umbilical wind powder for children of this age?
Answer
Dear parents, for a 2-year-old child, the recommended dosage of pediatric umbilical wind powder is 0.075 grams per dose. Please note that the best time to take the medication is 20 minutes before or after meals, and avoid taking it with spicy or irritating food. Encourage the child to drink plenty of water regularly to prevent heat-related issues leading to constipation and subsequent difficulties in defecation.
