However, the dosage for children must be calculated based on body weight, and administration is typically three times daily. During treatment, the frequency of diarrhea may slightly increase; this is generally acceptable unless the diarrhea becomes severe.If diarrhea is severe or other adverse reactions occur, discontinue the medication immediately and take the child to the hospital for evaluation and further diagnostic testing.

Parents should seek prompt medical consultation upon noticing signs or symptoms of illness in their child, allowing a qualified physician to perform pattern differentiation and treatment (bian zheng lun zhi) and provide specific guidance regarding appropriate drug selection.
