Tongue: Red tip; possibly a yellow coat.
Pulse: Rapid, full.

Cautions: Cold and phlegm-resolving substances may cause loose stools as a mechanism for discharging phlegm. This is a normal response, but if diarrhea develops, discontinue or lower the dose.

Dosage: Golden Flower's Children's Formulas are made as flavored syrups without alcohol extraction. They do not require pre-mixing. For infants give 1-2 ml/cc. For children age 1-2, give 2-3 ml/cc. For age 3-5, give 4-6 ml (1 ml/cc for each year of age + 1 ml). For children above 5, give 6 ml, or one teaspoon.

Frequency: For acute conditions, administer every 2-3 hours; and 3 times per day during the subacute phase.

Note: When accompanied by productive phlegm, or to help relieve harshness, combine with Fritillaria and Pinellia Syrup.
