Question
How to administer Hongmi Su to an 8-month-old child weighing 20 jin?
Answer
For an 8-month-old child weighing 20 jin, the recommended dosage of Hongmi Su is one-third of a packet, taken three times a day, and the child should be encouraged to drink plenty of water. Additionally, if the child has a cough with phlegm, consider giving pediatric expectorant cough granules for treatment. It’s also important to keep the child warm, particularly protecting the back from cold, and to reduce the intake of sweet foods.
