Licorice syrup used to be widely used, but the drug boom has reduced its popularity. When people began to use traditional methods of treatment again, this medicine reappeared in the arena. This syrup is especially actively used to treat children. But it is important to know how to give it depending on the age of the baby.
Instructions
Step 1
Licorice root is an excellent remedy for dry and wet coughs. In the first case, it promotes the formation of phlegm, and in the second, it causes coughing. In addition to this effect, this syrup has a rich trace element base, which is well absorbed, and this contributes to the organization of additional support for the sick child's body.
Step 2
When treating with licorice root, a prerequisite is the consumption of a large amount of liquid. Give your child as much drink as possible. The syrup will cause mucus formation, and if there is not enough fluid in the body, the mucus will become thick and can cause breathing difficulties.
Step 3
For a child under 2 years of age, give licorice syrup 3 times a day. To do this, in a small amount of water - 50-100 milliliters - dilute 2 drops of the drug. The amount of water depends on the age of the baby. For a baby, dilute the medicine in less water, and replenish the total water balance with a liquid clean from the medicine. Give a more diluted syrup to a child over 1 year old.
Step 4
For a toddler over 2 years old, dilute 10 drops of syrup in half a glass of water. Give the medicine three times a day. Be sure to make sure that the kid drinks everything to the end.
Step 5
For a child from 6 years old, increase the dose of syrup per glass of water to 40-50 drops. The daily number of receptions is still the same - 3 times.
Step 6
The course of treatment with licorice root syrup is no more than 10 days.
Step 7
Dilute the medicine only in warm boiled water. Never add this drug to tea or other hot drinks. Under the influence of temperature, the qualitative composition of the syrup is significantly reduced.
Step 8
With the correct use of licorice root syrup, you can quickly cure a child's cough at different stages of the disease. The main thing is to remember how to give this medicine to a baby and do not change this scheme at your discretion.
