Licorice root syrup is a natural herbal cough medicine. This remedy is especially important for the treatment of children. The main thing is to figure out how to give it depending on the age of the baby.
Instructions
Step 1
Licorice root syrup consists of a large number of biologically active substances. This medicine helps to dilute phlegm in the respiratory tract and stimulate its discharge, disinfect and heal small wounds in the pharynx that occur when coughing. Licorice root is an excellent remedy for the treatment of chronic bronchitis, tracheitis, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, tracheobronchitis and so on.
Step 2
Drinking plenty of fluids is the first prerequisite for treating licorice root syrup. It is important to reduce the viscosity of the phlegm. Otherwise, the mucus will become thick and difficult to breathe.
Step 3
Dilute the syrup only in boiled warm water. You cannot add syrup to tea, or other hot drink, as its beneficial properties are significantly reduced under the influence of temperature.

For babies under 2 years of age, give 2 drops of licorice root diluted in a teaspoon of water 3 times a day.

Step 6
For a child 6 to 12 years old, dilute 50 drops of this medicine in half a glass of water and give 3 times a day.
Step 7
Dissolve 1 teaspoon of licorice syrup in 100 ml of water. This dosage is intended for a child over 12 years of age. You also need to take the medicine 3 times a day.
